Students work with operations involving positive and negative numbers, exponents, roots, and basic expressions. The course emphasizes understanding why mathematical rules work, not just how to apply them. Students develop problem-solving strategies and begin to recognize patterns across different types of problems. Lessons are designed to build confidence and reduce anxiety around math. By the end, students are well-prepared to move into Algebra 1.
