Miami Arts will provide instruction in mathematics through various branches that include operations, numeration, whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, ratio and proportion, equations, inequalities, functions, expressions, properties, constructions, area, volume, proofs, etc. in preparation for the FCAT. However, students will study the world of mathematics beyond the classroom. Pupils will be taught to understand mathematical reasoning and processes as well as the ability to apply mathematics in an overall context where they have to evaluate the significance of results. Students will also be taught to develop flexible strategies for problems in which solutions are not readily apparent. The curriculum in mathematics will propel students toward mastery of the Sunshine State Standards as well as toward addressing five general areas: 

  • Number Sense, Concepts and Operations
  • Measurement
  • Geometry and Spatial Science
  • Algebraic Thinking
  • Data Analysis and Probability
 

In order to fulfill the mathematics requirements for high school graduation, students must successfully complete fours years of course study. Placement of students in mathematics courses will be reliant upon students’ experience and success in mathematics, standardized test scores, teacher recommendation and student levels of determination.

 

 

The following are courses that will be offered for grades 6 through 8:

*The school expects that Algebra I be completed by 9th grade and Geometry by 10th Grade. Students should expect to have completed a course at the Algebra II level or higher by 11th grade. Informal Geometry is discouraged, as it does not meet the minimum entrance requirement to the Florida State University System.
