Course Description
High school math. That’s the goal, right? This course is a great way to brush up on the skills needed to dive into high school algebra. Each week the focus will be on boosting ability and confidence in key areas of beginning algebra. Those topics include integers; rational numbers; equations & inequalities; ratios, percents, & proportions; functions & graphing; exponents & powers; and geometric figures.
Designed to enhance current understanding, activities in Pre-Algebra Review (Self-Paced) provide multiple avenues for practice. Students can improve their mathematical abilities by engaging with the daily digital assignments, fun activities, pre-recorded instructional videos, and live sessions with the instructor.
