Please note that science, as a discipline, inherently incorporates mathematics as a tool to systematically explore and gain knowledge/understanding of the natural world through observation, experimentation, and analysis. Foundational to this process, the Scientific Method utilizes mathematical principles to evaluate, analyze, and synthesize data.

As such, it is expected that all students entering the Science Academy will have proficiency in all areas of elementary school mathematical concepts including, but not limited to:

Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide Integers, Fractions, Decimals, And Percent
Convert Decimals, Fractions, And Percent
Simplify, Evaluate, & Write Expressions
Proportionality
Powers/Roots
Area, Volume, Circumference
Solving Word Problems
Single-Variable Equations
Integer Operations
Number Lines and Coordinate Planes
