In this course, geometry and proportional relationships are interwoven throughout the units. By the time students reach the fifth unit on operations with rational numbers, both positive and negative, students have had time to revisit and solidify their understanding and skill in arithmetic. The work on operations on rational numbers, with its emphasis on the role of the properties of operations in determining the rules for operating with negative numbers, is a natural lead-in to the work on expressions and equations in the next unit. Students then put their arithmetical and algebraic skills to work in the last two units, on angles, triangles, and prisms, and on probability and sampling.
