This is year 1 of our pre-algebra sequence. Students should have completed 6th grade math or Beast Academy level 5 and be proficient in all arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) including “column-math” without a calculator, as well as basic decimal and fraction operations.
Yes, students can skip ahead if they work over the summer to complete a math 6 course and are fast at their arithmetic facts.

Students who completed PA/Math 7 with me last year are ready for Math 8+ Honors Pre-Algebra this year
This is year 2 of our pre-algebra sequence, but it includes more than just pre-algebra. Students are also introduced to MUCH of traditional algebra and some geometry through our Integrated Math 8 material. This course is fast-paced and builds upon the solid foundation we established in year-one.
