Elective
Prerequisite: Pre-Algebra

Transition to Algebra is an elective course intended to be a bridge between the concrete concepts of pre-algebra and the abstract concepts of Algebra I and Geometry. This course will be activity-based, allowing students to explore and investigate algebraic and geometric concepts to build a stronger foundation of basic skills. Such explorations should emphasize physical models, data, graphs, and other mathematical representations in appropriate situations that facilitate the learning process. This course is designed for those students who have completed Pre-algebra and desire an alternative before taking Algebra I. Transition Algebra is recommended for students receiving 84 or below averages in Pre-Algebra and/or lower than 75% percentile on the 8th grade Mississippi Curriculum Test.
