Rock Rapids, IA (February 4, 2011) - Alpha Omega Publications is pleased to announce the release of Horizons Pre-Algebra. This new course is the colorful continuation of the award-winning K-6 math series so many Christian schools love. Recommended for students in grade 7 or 8, this course prepares students for upper-level math courses with a review of vital basic math concepts and a robust introduction to algebra, trigonometry, and geometry.

Similar in format to other Horizons K-6 courses, this comprehensive course is print-based and includes a teacher's guide, consumable student workbook, and a tests and resources book. The 160 lessons in the courses are divided into 16 units, each beginning with an exciting new real-world feature, A Math Minute. Math Minutes are based on an interview with a Christian who is using pre-algebra in daily life.

Each lesson begins with a teaching box that details a new concept. A class work section allows for practice of each new concept. Typical of other Horizons math courses, the activities section of each lesson includes a set of practice and review problems for previously covered concepts.

According to Al Christopherson, vice president of curriculum development, "Over and over again I have heard the request, 'We want more Horizons math.' This dream of AOP's and the request of our customers is finally coming to pass."

Ideal for Christian schools, Horizons Pre-Algebra can be used by one, a few, or many students under the guidance of a teacher. It is based on the Bible, with integrated Scripture and emphasis on the principles of Christian living. Perfect for hands-on learning, Horizons is a winning combination of fun, entertainment, and quality academics.
