JH - Pre-Transition Math

NEW! This course is designed to prepare students for Transition Mathematics. Pre-Transition Mathematics will help students learn and practice identifying and working on uses of numbers and operations. The particular course will emphasize working with fractions, percents, order of operations, probability, and much more, including dealing with data and geometry. Algebra is integrated throughout the text as a way of describing generalizations, as a language for formulas, and as an aid in solving simple equations.

The text is Pre-Transition Mathematics, of the UCSMP ("Chicago Math") series.
