School’s
Middle School Courses provide three paces in which a
student may complete the courses. The students are
recommended to work with their parent, school, guidance
counselor, or local education guide (LEG) to determine
the pace that fits their need. To help
determine the pace choice for the course, consider your
academic needs and how much time you can devote to the
online course. More details

6
This is a full year of middle
school math curriculum for grade 6 level students.
Did you know that zebras are black with white stripes? Or that kangaroos
can only move forward? Zookeepers know these things,
and so will you when you use some basic math skills as
the zookeeper of your own virtual zoo. You値l also
find out that math is really important for figuring out
real world problems like how much food and space your
animals will need.
In this course you値l learn about numbers, fractions, percentages, and
data analysis. You値l also see how geometry and solving
problems with algebra will help keep your animals and
the humans who visit your zoo happy. You値l even have a
pet toucan, who will help make learning math fun.
You値l find dozens of animals in your zoo. You値l also
find that the mathematical concepts and processes
learned in this course will make you a better student,
and better worker in any profession you may choose.

7
This is a full year of middle
school math curriculum for grade 7 level students.
Sometimes the best way to learn mathematics is to
see how it is used. To do that, we have a lot of
great field trips planned for you. Among the
interesting places you値l visit are an airport, an
amusement park, a golf course, and an elections
office. At each place, you値l learn important math
concepts and how they apply to the real world.
In this course, you値l learn how to estimate and
measure quantities, describe what痴 happening with
graphs and algebraic equations, and use statistics
to make predictions. You値l even use your knowledge
of area, perimeter and circumference to map out a
park near you.
Math is everywhere! The purpose of this course is
to help you see the thousands of ways it is used.
You値l also learn lots of math tools for solving
problems and for creating your own new ways to use
math.

 Pre-Algebra
(Math 8)
This is a full year of middle school math curriculum
for grade 8 level students.
If
you like music, then you will love math; well,
almost. The truth is, every musical note can be
measured by its frequency and every drumbeat can be
measured by an interval of time. It took hundreds of
years to create the musical scales we have today, but
you can be sure that someone had to do the math.
In
this course, you値l learn about numbering systems,
measurement, data analysis, geometry and algebra.
You値l see that music and many other human activities
depend on getting the numbers right. You値l interact
with course materials, visit websites, participate in
hands-on activities, and watch instructional videos.
You値l even get to create your own music CD cover using
your geometric skills.
Math
and music are not exactly the same. But in this course,
you値l find that math can be a lot of fun, and solving
problems can be very satisfying. You値l also learn that
math can be a part of your life that is at least as
important as music.
