Math 8A – FX

Flex Course Overview: Math 8A is a course designed with the flexibility to help students complete their coursework at their own pace and schedule. Students may bypass portions of unit content and assignments by showing mastery of materials and objectives if they choose the option to challenge a unit by taking the challenge test. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. This course is divided into eight units with coursework (including computer and teacher-graded assignments) and a unit exam. Based on how well they do on a challenge test, some coursework may be exempted. There is no high-stakes final exam; just shorter incremental exams in each unit, two of which must be scheduled with a proctor.

Course Description: This is the first semester of a two-semester Middle School Math course that aligns to the Idaho Content standards for middle school mathematics. This course will dive into the concepts of input-output relationships, linear functions, linear equations, systems of equations and their applications, exponents, and exponential equations and their applications. We will connect these concepts to real-world applications. Students will practice these mathematical concepts in a variety of forms and applications. Students will employ the standards of mathematical practice as they work through the course material. View full syllabus
