Math Courses at South Heights
presented in order of difficulty level

Math Mastery  
for Confidence & Competence  In Preparation for Algebra and Geometry 
*A tuition payment will also be required for the second semester of this class.
 
Description: This class lays the foundation for success in the higher level math courses. Half of each class will be spent with Dr. Henry Borenson's "Hands On Equations" system, which is a manipulative-based introduction to algebraic concepts. The rest of the class will work on mastery, speed, and mental calculations of the following concepts: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (going beyond the "nines" and doing it faster). We will use the book “Mastering Essential Math Skills” to work with fractions, decimals, and percents (reviewing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of these plus learn conversion between the three types). We will look at middle-level geometry, calculations with negative numbers, and key words for solving word problems.
