Pre-Algebra Online 1st Semester (Math 800)

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.

Answer the following questions in more than 125 words – Write about the similarity of the original comic to the enlargement. 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?)
