These materials are intended to provide meaningful mathematical experiences for pre-algebra students. These experiences emphasize the development of computational skills, mathematical concepts, and problem-solving techniques. This bulletin may be used as the basis for the first term of a one-year course. The complete course is divided into 12 basic units, six of which are presented here. Units one through six are: (1) formulas; (2) introduction to algebra; (3) metric measurement; (4) plane geometry; (5) money management; and (6) probability and statistics. Each individual lesson includes the aim, performance objectives, essential vocabulary, specific teaching suggestions, applications, and a summary. The mathematical skills and concepts are arranged in a sequential order allowing for the spiraling of skills among units and semesters. (PK)
