Pre algebra is a foundational course in mathematics that precedes Algebra 1. It provides students with the necessary background knowledge and skills to prepare them for more advanced algebraic concepts. Pre algebra covers a range of topics that help students develop arithmetic fluency and an understanding of basic algebraic principles. The main topics covered in pre algebra include:
Whole numbers:
Learn about the properties of whole numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Fractions:
Understand the concepts of fractions, mixed numbers, and equivalent fractions, and perform arithmetic operations with them.
Decimals:
Learn about decimals and how to perform arithmetic operations with them, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Percents:
Understand the concept of percents and how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents.
Ratios and proportions:
Learn about ratios and proportions, and how to solve problems involving these concepts.
Integers:
Understand positive and negative integers and their properties, and perform arithmetic operations with them.
Order of operations:
Learn the correct sequence of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) when simplifying expressions.
Variables and expressions:
Become familiar with the use of variables (letters) to represent unknown values and create simple algebraic expressions.
Basic equations:
Learn to solve basic one-step equations and inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Geometry:
Understand basic geometric concepts, such as points, lines, angles, and shapes, and learn about area and perimeter.
Coordinate plane:
Learn how to plot points on the coordinate plane and identify the four quadrants.
Measurement:
Understand units of measurement and learn how to convert between different units.
Probability and statistics:
Learn about basic probability and statistics concepts, such as the probability of an event and measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode).
By developing a strong foundation in these topics, students become better prepared to tackle more complex algebraic concepts in Algebra 1 and beyond
After passing through this Pre Algebra tutorial program, students will be able to:
- Understand, classify, and perform basic operations on the set of real numbers
- Solve, Graph, and Check linear equations and inequalities of a single variable
- Recognize and perform operations on polynomials
- Use Ratios, Proportions, and Percents
- Apply Real-World Situations of Percentages, Ratios and Proportions (Percent Mark-up, Discount, Tax, and Gratuity)
- Apply concepts of Probability and Statistics in order to Interpret Information
- Solve, graph, and check linear systems of equations and inequalities in two variables
- Use, Write, and Apply properties and formulas to solve geometric problems
