LEARNING STRATEGIES IN ENGLISH, MATH, SCIENCE, AND SOCIAL STUDIES

This course is designed to give students, grades 6-8, strategies in note-taking, outlining, highlighting, vocabulary enrichment, listening skills, test taking skills and organizational skills. These skills will be useful to students throughout their academic curriculum classes.

MATH POWER-UP

This course is only open to students entering 7th grade Pre-Algebra who need a review of the 6th Grade Mathematics Standards. Emphasis is placed on reviewing and reinforcing the basic skills needed for success in future math courses. Students will “firm up” their understanding and knowledge of mathematical concepts and procedures and apply these in solving real world problems. Teaching methodologies include direct instruction, small-group and cooperative learning. Manipulatives and technology are used to illustrate mathematical concepts.
