Pre-Algebra ​Academic Library

First Semester

Pre-Algebra First Semester​

Pre-algebra is an introductory algebra course designed to prepare middle school students for Algebra I in high school.

The course focuses on strengthening needed skills in problem solving, integers, equations, and graphing. Students will begin to see the “big picture” of mathematics and learn how numeric, algebraic, and geometric concepts are woven together to build a foundation for higher mathematical thinking.

The math academic libraries are not considered as a replacement for the online curriculum, the media presentations, and instruction with daily lessons which must be completed including daily quizzes and unit tests or help from your teacher, but a supplement to the curriculum for additional practice and instruction available 24/7.

How similar are they and how can you tell? What would cause differences in the two pictures? If you drew another comic using a grid, is there anything you would do differently? What would happen if you reduced the comic’s size rather than enlarged it? Would the process be the same? What would you do differently?)
