This course will move along fairly quickly. We have a lot of material to cover this year! If you feel you need more help with Algebra, Labs are now available! Just see your counselor about trading an elective for an Algebra lab class. It may be just the extra boost you need!

This class is designed as a bridge from 8th-grade Pre-Algebra to High School Algebra. Students who successfully complete Conceptual Math will receive 2 math credits and will be advanced to Algebra the following year. There is some review in Conceptual Math, but don’t be fooled thinking you know it all. If you really think you’ve been placed in the wrong math class, let me know immediately so we can reevaluate your placement to Algebra. Completing homework and keeping a math notebook is the key to success. (And the key to staying out of Griz…)

The purpose of this class is to help students fill in the gaps in past learning of math concepts. Graduation requirements for Math now state that all students must test at the proficient level on the Idaho Standard Achievement Test. Presently, all Meridian District High School Students are given the ISAT Test in the Spring of their sophomore year. Students who score proficient (Math - 238) are not required to test again. Students with a score of 237 or lower are referred to the Math Skills class. Class numbers are kept low to provide greater student-teacher interaction . Elective credit (no Math credit) is given for Math Skills.
The following links may be helpful for home practice of the ISAT:
- Idaho (Pre-Algebra) - Link to practice tests and answer keys. Excellent practice for the ISAT and prepares students for the Algebra test.
- Idaho (Algebra) - Link to practice tests and answer keys. As Sophomores students will be expected to successfully complete the Algebra practice test.
- Illinois - Link to interactive practice test. Illinois and Idaho standards are not identical but this is a great practice site.
- Idaho ISAT Practice Exam Link - Keep in mind all sophomore students must compile a RIT composite score of 238 to be considered proficient in Math.
Participating in class will help you be most successful…and help you pass the ISAT!
