About

We'll go over the full course of pre-algebra using the chapters outlined in the Openstax textbook Prealgebra2e. This series is suitable for both learners with no prior experience with pre-algebra and learners wanting to review pre-algebra.
Starting on August 6th, 2024 and ending on August 31st, 2024, in each week, there will be three 90-minute sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays covering key concepts. There will also be a 90-minute session on Sundays for office hours where you can ask questions and review concepts. More make-up sessions and office hours may be provided by messaging me.
Note: Some questions in the assessment are in or inspired by the Openstax textbook Prealgebra2e.
