Course Overview: This course is designed to introduce students to the foundational concepts of pre-algebra. Through a combination of theoretical instruction and practical application, students will develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and their relevance to real-world situations. Prerequisites: Students should have a solid grasp of basic arithmetic operations, including addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication, as well as a familiarity with fractions. Course Outline: Week 1: Ratios and Proportions • Understanding ratios and proportions • Applying ratios and proportions to real-life scenarios (e.g., adjusting recipes) • Solving word problems involving ratios and proportions Week 2: Proportions (Continued) • Continued practice with solving word problems involving proportions Week 3: Percentages • Converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions • Calculating percentages of numbers Week 4: Percentages (Continued) • Applying percentages to real-world situations (e.g., calculating sales tax, discounts) • Solving word problems involving percentages Week 5: Prime Numbers and Prime Factorization • Identifying prime numbers • Finding prime factorization using factor trees and other methods Week 6: Greatest Common Factor (GCF) • Defining GCF • Finding GCF using prime factorization and the ladder method Week 7: Least Common Multiple (LCM) • Defining LCM • Finding LCM using the prime factorization and the ladder method Week 8: Word Problems with GCF and LCM • Solving word problems involving GCF and LCM (e.g., finding the greatest common divisor) Course Structure: • Homework: Students will receive weekly homework assignments. • Homework Submission: Students will upload their completed homework for review. • Question and Answer Sessions: The first 10 minutes of each class will be dedicated to addressing any questions or difficulties students may have encountered in their homework. • Additional Support: Students can email the instructor at any time for further assistance or clarification.
