Intermediate Mathematics A reference Guide and Problem Sets B K12 by Harold Lawrance Jr. Jill Tunick et al Paul Thomas

Intermediate Mathematics B is the second of a three-year middle school math sequence that prepares students for success in high school algebra. The course begins by developing an understanding of operations with rational numbers, which is applied to working with algebraic expressions and linear equations. This course also helps students develop understanding of proportional relationships and the use of these relationships to solve problems. Geometry topics focus on constructions of two-dimensional figures; properties of circles; scale factors; and problems involving area, surface area, and volume. Finally, students use the tools of probability and statistics to solve basic probability problems and to make inferences based on population samples. This course aligns to national standards and is designed to focus on critical skills and knowledge needed for success in further mathematical studies, including high school algebra.
