At the junior high school level, mathematics plays a vital role in school education as it affects students' understanding of numbers in daily life. The goal of the junior high school mathematics curriculum is to provide all students with high-quality courses and exciting and interesting learning experiences, adhere to the highest teaching effectiveness, and help students move towards excellence.
AEI's middle school students are usually in 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Each school's mathematics curriculum is organized differently, so you need to take the AEI placement test before enrolling in order to determine the areas where students need to strengthen and which level of courses they are suitable for. Generally speaking, most students at AEI will be placed into classes based on:
| grade | course |
|---|---|
| 6 | Sixth Grade Mathematics |
| 7 | Pre-algebra (Pre-algebra) |
| 8 | Algebra 1 |
Sixth Grade Mathematics

Pre-algebra for seventh grade (PRE-ALGEBRA)
Pre-Algebra is a course for seventh grade students who works to develop basic math skills while building conceptual understanding of number operations, algebra, measurement, geometry, and data analysis.
Utilizes real-world problem solving when appropriate to aid in the development and application of concepts. The course emphasizes reasoning, strategies and connections through written and oral communication of mathematical ideas, as well as learning and organizational skills. Each student is encouraged to develop computational and conceptual understanding through individual assignments, collaborative learning, problem solving, and reflection.
Topics covered in the course include variables, operations, and integers, solving multi-step equations, divisibility and factors, exponents, rational numbers and equations, ratios and proportions, percent equations and applications, linear relationships, square roots, Pythagorean theorem, two-dimensional sums 3D measurement and information and statistics. Courses include exercises, practice questions, and assessments of varying difficulty to challenge students with varying levels of understanding.
8th Grade Algebra 1 (ALGEBRA 1)
Algebra 1 is aimed at eighth-grade students who are already proficient in basic mathematical skills and have a strong understanding of mathematics, especially algebraic thinking. The course is challenging and students are motivated by the abstract presentation of mathematical concepts. Emphasis on reasoning, strategies, and connections through written and oral communication of mathematical ideas. This course emphasizes problem solving to ensure students can successfully apply mathematical concepts in real-world situations. Topics covered include linear equations and inequalities, linear functions and systems, polynomials, quadratic equations, and basis and rational functions.
