Mathematics

Mathematics at Falcon Bluffs Middle School

Building mathematicians and championing math professionals to empower all to think mathematically in an ever-changing world.

Falcon Bluffs Middle School's core instructional math resource is Illustrative Mathematics which incorporates ideas and strategies from Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics. 

All daily work will be completed in student workbooks, with required page numbers being posted in Google Classroom.

Eighth Grade Weekly Agenda

Pre-AP Algebra 1

The Pre-AP Algebra 1 course is designed to deepen students’ understanding of linear relationships by emphasizing patterns of change, multiple representations of functions and equations, modeling real-world scenarios with functions, and methods for finding and representing solutions of equations and inequalities. These ideas provide a powerful set of conceptual tools that students can use to make sense of their world through mathematics.   Students will use the following mathematics areas of focus to build their mathematical practices:

  • Application and Modeling
  • Engagement in Mathematical Argument
  • Connection of Multiple Representations
