Math+Lab

Course Information
The Math Lab course helps students prepare for either the Core 40 Algebra 1 retest or the GQE Math retest. Whole class and small group mini lessons are presented daily, and assignments from Accelerated Math are used to target the specific weaknesses of each student and provide review assignments. Homework is infrequent so students are expected to work diligently in-class each day to prepare themselves. Students are graded on participation (including Accelerated Math scans, notes, and classwork) and progress towards individual goals (measured by mastery of objectives and test scores).

Students may earn 1 math credit or an elective credit for this course.

We will start the semester with a pretest to measure each student's strengths and determine the areas each student needs to focus on. Classwork will include individualized assignments, partner assignments, and activities. Students will be expected to take responsibility for their own learning and progress towards goals.

Calculators are allowed on a portion of the test. //Students are encouraged to bring a scientific calculator to class each day.//
