This is our catalog of courses. We will occasionally adjust the course listing to reflect the addition of new courses and the retirement of others.
Thorough preparatory course for Algebra 1. This second-semester details interpreting data and finding bias, two and three-dimensional geometry, probability, and beginning algebra. We continue to focus on real-life applications of our topics, particularly on misleading data and using geometry in ‘real life’.
Total classes: 14 live classes, 14 recorded classes
Prerequisite: Completion of Sadlier-Oxford Fundamentals of Algebra Part One or Equivalent
Suggested grade level: 8th grade (advanced 7th welcome)
