Overview
Aligned with the common core curriculum of 6th to 8th grades, these sessions
introduce the concepts of ratios & proportions, the number system,
expressions & equations, statistics and probability, functions etc.
Practicing these topics gives a solid foundation to take on the advanced
high school courses like Algebra and Geometry.
