I am excited to share this short 8 lesson course that we just completed here at Scio Academy.  This course was created to answer the question, "is my student ready for pre algebra?"  

Many schools automatically start students entering 8th grade in the pre algebra course of study, but some parents are still wondering if their child is ready. These parents often have some of the same questions:

• How do they know if their child is ready? 
• How do they figure out what arithmetic concepts to cover over the summer to prepare?
• What resources do they use to cover those concepts?

Scio Academy's arithmetic course is designed with these questions in mind.  By the end of this short 8 lesson course you and your child will know what concepts he is struggling with and if he is ready for the study of pre algebra.  

Pre algebra is a course designed to help your student master arithmetic.  To show readiness for pre algebra your student should be able to do basic arithmetic computations.  

Our 8 class course covers: 

1. Basic operations
2. Decimals & Percents
3. Factors & Multiples
4. Fractions
5. Exponents & Roots
6. Ratios & Rates
7. Area & Perimeter
8. Word Problems

This course contains 8 classes, designed to be a review of each concept, and 8 assessments, designed to check for mastery of the concept.  

If you find that your student needs more practice with a particular concept, please feel free to let us know in the forum.  We are happy to help you find what you need to gain a mastery of math!
