VA Pre-Algebra A
The Acellus FUNMath course was developed to ensure that students have a strong foundation in basic mathematical concepts prior to introducing them to more advanced topics. We have found that students often have difficulty in Algebra when they have a weak foundation in mathematics. Acellus FUNMath helps to fill in the holes in student understanding, providing them with a strong foundation of basic mathematical concepts upon which they can build. It is recommended that students take Acellus FUNMath at either the end of grade 7 or 8 or at the beginning of grade 9 as a refresher for those preparing to go into Algebra. Course topics include: Whole Number Operations, Order of Operations, Fractions/Decimals/Percentages, Probabilities (including permutations and combinations), Statistics (mean, median, mode, range, and graphs), Planes, Points, Lines, and Angles, Polygons (types of polygons and several properties), Perimeter, Area, and Volume, Square Roots, Pythagorean Theorem, Absolute Value, Integer Operations, Basic Graphing, Operations using Rational Numbers, One- and Two-Step Equations, and Basic Inequalities.
