Math Foundations II (2 semesters)
Based on the NCTM Curricular Focal Points, Math Foundations II is designed to expedite student progress through 6th- to 8th-grade skills. The course is appropriate for use as remediation at the high school level or as a bridge-to-high-school or as middle school curriculum. The program simultaneously builds the computational skills and the conceptual understanding needed to undertake high school–level math courses with confidence.
Science:
8th Grade Science (2 Semesters)
Students get a robust balance of information and technology-based learning tools that simplify science for 8th grade students with diverse learning styles. Your budding scientists will discover the exciting world of atoms and molecules, rocks and fossils, oceanography, and inner and outer space. Study also includes an in-depth look at charts, graphs, and scientific measurement tools. This web-based course includes not only the most up-to-date facts and information, but also clickable video exercises, experiments, audio clips, quizzes, and tests. Students get immediate feedback to assessments with automatic grading. This feature also allows teachers to easily identify areas that need to be revisited by individual students or an entire class. Data collection and automatic report creation reduces time spent on administrative tasks for teachers and administrators.
Science Foundations (2 semesters)
Science Foundations is a two-semester course, with each semester containing 10 mini-units. Each mini-unit is composed of three lessons. The first lesson focuses on key concepts found in earth science, physical science, and life science. The second lesson reinforces reading and math skills students need to be successful with the content introduced in the first lesson. The third lesson introduces scientific inquiry and critical thinking skills that will help students thrive in science as well as other disciplines. Carefully paced, guided instruction is accompanied by engaging and accessible interactive practice. Checkup activities provide an opportunity to review content prior to assessment. Practice activities offer an opportunity to apply concepts that were presented in Study activities.
