Hello Students and Parents,
This will be an exciting year for my 8th grade advanced, gifted, and regular pre-Algebra classes. This course is filled with knowledge to help hone skills that will be applicable to all forms of mathematics in the future. For those of you who strive for excellence and enjoy working hard, this class will be particularly easy for you. I have high expectations for my students and hopefully they have high expectations for themselves as well. All the class rules, supplies, and contact information are on the syllabus. I am always checking my email so if you have a question or would like to discuss something about the class I will be available at marlonjr@dadeschools.net. Thank you and I hope we all have a wonderful and productive school year!

An advanced approach to 8th Grade Pre-Algebra

A more intense approach to 8th Grade Pre-Algebra

This course reinforces mathematical skills taught in the sixth
and seventh grade classes with additional advanced computation including an emphasis on Algebraic concepts. Students will study fractions, decimals,percents, positive and negative integers and rational numbers. They will become more proficient in using ratios, proportions and solving algebraic equations. Students will develop and expand problem solving skills (creatively and analytically) in order to solve word problems. A strong emphasis will be placed on understanding mathematical principles required for success in this course and as a foundation for future mathematics courses.
