Pre-Algreba
The Pre-Algreba course goes over the following topics
The Pre-Algreba course we teach at STAMP is simultaneous to the Math 6/7 and Math 7/8 courses taught for schools in the Beaverton School District. Both courses are the standard courses taken by 6th and 7th graders in the Beaverton School District, and both courses make up the knowledge needed to advance into AGSI(Algreba, Geometry, Statistics I) and further on.

This course not only caters to those currently in 6th and 7th grade, but it also caters towards upcoming 6th graders who are prepared to take the Math-Placement test to skip both Math 6/7 and automatically advance to either Math 7/8 or AGS1. More information about the test will be sent out to those who are on the email list and will be updated as soon as possible on our website.
