Getting ready for Pre-Algebra? Let's slay it together! This ongoing course is designed to engage students to the concepts of Pre-Algebra and provide practice and experimentation in the fundamental principles of Algebra. This ongoing course emphasizes problem solving and critical thinking skills, while also providing a solid foundation in:

- arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division with various types of numbers); 
- converting, simplifying, and manipulating with numbers (fractions, decimals, percentages, exponents, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers); 
- creating equations

Please note: Learners should have a solid understanding of maths through Grade 6, and be enrolled in a pre-Algebra class currently or within the next 6 months. This class covers all major topics in Pre-Algebra, but it does so in a less-extensive manner than a full course.
