The Mathematics program at Lakeside Middle School is challenging and rigorous at each level that is offered. Teachers follow the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Mathematics as well as county guidelines. In 8th grade there are three different levels of math.
Algebra 1: In this course, students master any 8th grade standards not already covered that are necessary for success in Algebra I. Students also learn all Algebra I content in-depth as well as additional materials above and beyond the Algebra I standards. The expected path for these students is to take Geometry or Honors Geometry as freshmen. A few high-achieving and very motivated students may elect to take both Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra II as freshmen.
Accelerated Algebra 1: In this course, students master all of the Algebra I standards as well as the first semester of Honors Geometry Standards. The expected path for these students is to take Accelerated Algebra II/Geometry B Honors as freshmen.
