This is a mini-course reviewing the foundational topics which are a review of Pre-Algebra and the first chapter of Algebra 1. This is meant to help students entering an Algebra 1 course to review the basics that will build a strong foundation for everything that comes later in the course.

Use this course to brush up on your skills so you can hit the ground running in Algebra 1!

Each topic includes a video lesson & practice "quiz" with answer explanations.

The idea is for you to start by watching the lesson. Then try the practice quiz to test your understanding. When you click on a quiz answer, you'll see either a hint about why that is not correct or a detailed explanation of why it's the correct answer.

Topics included:

• Meaning of Integers & Multiplication/Division with Integers

• Adding & Subtracting Integers & Integer Word Problems

• Rational & Irrational Numbers

• Ordering Real Numbers

• Order of Operations Part 1

• Order of Operations Part 2

• Translating Variable Expressions Using Keywords

• Translating Variable Expressions Using Context

• Substitution

• Substitution Word Problems

• Combining Like Terms

• Distributive Property

• Simplify Algebraic Expressions

• Properties of Algebra

  
  

  Additional Review materials:

• Course Review Open-ended Response Practice. (5 multi-part open-ended response practice assignments. Each one has an explanation video that you can watch to check your work after completion)

• Course Review Multiple Choice Practice Test (with answer explanations)
