Pre-Algebra 1

Pre-Algebra 1 is aimed at giving students a solid foundation as they embark upon the study of Algebra. This course is ideal for students in advanced elementary and middle school levels (grades 5-7). It begins with Arithmetic and slowly expands the student’s vocabulary to new types of numbers (negatives, fractions, decimals) explaining how to reason in these number systems.

Students will begin with an Arithmetic review, and move on to the distributive property, order of precedence, fractions and ratios, speed and rates of variation, decimals, percentages, negative numbers, variables and simplification of expressions.

With the improved skills in abstraction, the course helps them understand how to formulate and solve linear equations in one variable.
