"We want Middle School to be an experience in which kids can try out all their different interests. These activities open doors for students to explore who they are and establish an identity." — Middle School Director Deb Sampey

Latin's Middle School mathematics program is designed to engage and appropriately challenge each student. This is accomplished by identifying those students who would benefit from less drill and practice, as well as those who need more time for skill development. This identification takes place at the end of fifth grade as well as during sixth grade.

Math Challenge 6A
This is fast-paced course in pre-algebra. Included in this course is work with signed numbers, solving linear equations by transformations, solving systems of equations, graphing lines, applications of formulas from plane and solid geometry, logic puzzles, and other enrichment topics. Students are selected for this class at the end of fifth grade.

Math 6
This is the first two semesters of a three-semester sequence in pre-algebra. Content includes drill and practice using signed numbers, geometric applications of measurement, working with variables, and problem solving.
