The second half of the chapter is devoted to mastering percents. From the foundations of converting between fractions, percents, and decimals to finding percents, the part, or the whole, through to calculating percent of change, you will leave this chapter knowing percents and how to use them in any way you could possibly need them in Pre-Algebra and beyond!
Chapter 7: Solving Equations and Inequalities
This chapter is a deep dive into solving many types of equations and inequalities. You will begin by learning how to solve two-step and multi-step equations. After rocking these topics you will master solving equations with variables on both sides. The chapter then turns to a neat exploration of solving two-step inequalities and literal equations. You will close out this part of your math trip with a lesson on simple and compound interest. Throughout the chapter an emphasis is placed on undoing the order of operations – a concept that will come in handy throughout your current and future math studies!!
Chapter 8: Relations & Functions, Slope, Lines, and Graphing
This chapter is a spring board into your studies in Algebra 1 of functions and linear equations. You will start with graphing data from tables and learn to describe and predict patterns and sequences. The next stop involves writing function rules and learning all the ins and outs of relations, functions, domain, range, and the vertical line test. The chapter rolls into the all-important study of graphing linear equations before you rock arguably the most important concept in all of Mathematics – slope or rate of change. From here you will learn all about slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which is super rad!! The chapter closes out with a thorough introduction into solving systems of linear equations and linear inequalities by graphing. This chapter is filled with important yet also very cool Algebraic concepts.
Chapter 9: Foundations of Geometry
This chapter takes you through the fundamentals of geometry! You will begin learning about the building blocks of geometry and how to label and classify them. Then you are off to rocking complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles before discovering the magic behind parallel lines and transversals! A thorough introduction to triangles, polygons, and congruent figures follows. The key parts of circles, circumference and circle graphs is then explored. You will finish off the chapter with the study of three types of transformations: translations, reflections, and rotations.
Chapter 10: Areas of Two- & Three-Dimensional Figures and Volume
