MATHEMATICS
Emphasizes problem-solving, reasoning, and critical thinking, preparing students for success in high school math and beyond.
Algebra
Like I said in the previous article, Algebra make up most of the course. So I will dive deep the Algebra topics in the course in this final Math Subject article.
Factoring
Factoring is a fundamental mathematical process where a number or an algebraic expression is decomposed into smaller components, called "factors," which produce the original value when multiplied 2 or more polynomials together.
For example, the number 12 can be factored into
3×4. or 3x2x2 , and the polynomial
x squared plus 5 x plus 6
can be factored into
(𝑥+2)(𝑥+3).
The primary goal in algebra is to simplify expression, solve equations, and make it easier to solve the equations and find the final answer of the equations.
Exponents
Exponents (also called powers) function as shorthand notation for repeated multiplication, where a small number is at the top right of a base number to showing how many times it is multiplied by itself. Students need to master the laws of exponents, which allow students to algebraically simplify complex expressions involving positive, negative, zero, and even fractional exponents.
The Laws of Exponents
Polynomials
Polynomials is about algebraic expressions composed of variables and coefficients, or even negative integers exponents. Students will learn the structure of these expressions (terms, coefficients, degree, classification), with fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and developing factoring skills(next paragraph).
