NSO Course Catalog

The Gifted Algebra course is designed to provide challenging mathematics for 6th and 7th grade students who need greater depth and breadth in their approach to learning mathematics.  This course integrates two curricula:  Connected Mathematics Project and Discovering Algebra.  These curricula provide engaging, discovery-based investigations and are highly consistent with state and national standards-based efforts to improve school mathematics.  Students work with data-rich, real-world situations in a curriculum that places algebra in an applications-based context and where investigations precede the introduction of formulas and expressions.

A student may need to take a qualifying test prior to enrolling into this class.  To learn more about the Gifted math courses please click and go to our Gifted Math page.
