About

Do you need help with Pre-Algebra, to build on your foundations to excel in Algebra I and maybe some that could be used in real life? Within this course, I will aim for you to be secure in number theory (whole numbers, roman numbers, integers, real numbers), factors and multiples (key words and topical practice), ratio and proportion, exponents and square roots, statistics and linear equations (expressions, equations). The full breakdown of sub-topics we will use are listed below! Topic 1: Number Theory Whole Numbers Roman Numerals Integers Rational Numbers Real Numbers Pythagorean Theorem Absolute Value Topic 2: Factors and Multiples Factors Multiples Prime numbers and Composite numbers Prime factorization Topic 3: Linear Equations Algebraic Expressions Solving Linear Systems by Substitution System of Equations Solver Solutions of a Linear Equation Variable expressions Linear Equations Topic 4: Ratio and Proportion Ratio Proportion Topic 5: Exponents and Square Root Fractions Exponents Order of Operations Square root Topic 6: Statistics Mean, Median, Mode Probability *I HAVE NOT added many sessions as of yet (until the 1st session) as I want to see how many people commit **PARTICIPATION IS a must *** I DON'T MIND CHANGING TIME if it is too early in your time zone and if any time works between all of us, I can create an alternative timing for you.

Factors and multiples

Factors and multiples

Fri 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM UTCJul 29, 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM UTC

We will go over the definition of factors and multiples. We will then move on to types of numbers: composite numbers, prime numbers and primer factorization. I will give you some riddles to do with this! The winner of the riddles and also a quiz at the end shall gain rights to brag! There is a chance to win many prizes, for example co-host of a session! Or even teaching a review class! There will be a lucky draw of prizes every week... I request you to have a working microphone and if possible, I would like you to have your camera switched on.

We will recap factors and multiples as they too are a pattern! We will go over how tables and toothpicks are great examples of patterns! Now here's where it gets harder... we will construct numerical expressions, evaluate expressions with and without parentheses and translate expressions with parentheses.
