PRE+AP+Information

** J. Robinson ** ** robinsonmath6.wikispaces.com ** ** jrobinson@gcs.k12.al.us ** Gadsden City Middle Schools are dedicated to provide the students with the best educational opportunities. We feel that it is important to ensure that the students are ready for the rigors of high school. Therefore, Gadsden City Middle Schools offer a Pre-AP curriculum for Advanced Students. The Pre-AP curriculum will be designed after the AP curriculum at Gadsden City High School. The middle school teachers will work with the high school teachers in developing a challenging curriculum which will prepare the students who will be taking AP classes. The administrations will look at student’s grades, test scores, and teacher recommendations to determine who needs to be in the Pre-AP curriculum.
 * Pre-AP Curriculum for Sixth Grade Mathematics **

What is Pre-AP Mathematics? This course will consist of the State of Alabama Sixth Grade Mathematics Course of Study. The format in which it will be studied is through higher level thinking skills, advanced placement vocabulary, advanced placement question formatting and phrasing.
