Middle School Mathematics 2

Students advance their mathematical understanding through engaging with key algebraic and geometric concepts that serve as a bridge to high school mathematics. Focus is on building skills in solving and graphing inequalities, understanding and implementing the order of operations, and applying properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. Units explore rational numbers, algebraic expressions, proportional relationships, probability, and statistics. Students also tackle real-world problems involving these concepts, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and preparing them for more complex studies in mathematics.

Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
