Math Helper

Our Math Helper course will prepare our students to successfully learn Algebra by helping them build a solid mathematical foundation. Our course aims to build the confidence necessary to further our students’ education in mathematics, with particular emphasis placed on problem-solving skills and good habits.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

• Recall the steps for using order of operations with numbers and variables
• Identify operations using the decimal system
• Recognize the fundamentals of inequalities, linear functions and geometry
• Define operations with monomials and polynomials

Math Helper Module 1
Numbers and Operations

In module one, we will begin by covering number basics. We will move on to working with variables and the order of operations for both integers and fractions. Before wrapping the module up, we will look at the rules of exponents, positive and negative integers and zero powers.

• Properties of Numbers
• Variables
• Order of Operations with Integers
• Order of Operations with Fractions
• Exponent Rules; Positive Integer, Negative Integer, and Zero powers

Math Helper Module 2
Equalities, Equations, and Calculations

In module two, we will work on operations using the decimal system. Also included in module two is how to use expressions and equations, and non-integer calculations. Additionally, we will examine how to calculate percentages, equations, and how to figure mark-up and discounts.

• Decimal System
• Expressions and Equalities
• Ratios and Proportions
• Percentages and Equations
• Mark-up and Discount

Math Helper Module 3
Inequalities, Linear Functions, and Geometry

In module three, we will review inequalities and linear functions. We will discuss how to find slope, intercepts, and graph linear equations. Also included in module three is how to find the midpoint and use distance formulas, and find the perimeter and area of a selected section.

• Solving and Graphing Inequalities
• Cartesian Coordinate System
• Slopes, Intercepts, and Graphs of Linear Equations
• Midpoint and Distance Formulas
• Perimeter and Area

Math Helper Module 4
Monomials, Polynomials, and Applications

This last module will refresh you on operations with monomials and polynomials. We will review techniques to approaching word problems and engage with real-world applications of your math knowledge.

• Operations with Monomials
• Operations with Polynomials
• Approaching Word Problems
• Rate Word Problems
• Money and Spatial Word Problems
