Essentials of Math Online

​Essentials: Mathematics is a semester-length review of the fundamentals taught in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and Geometry courses and is useful at the high school level for basic skill remediation. The course highlights basic mathematical skills through multiple review, practice and sample exam questions.

Upon completion the student will be able to understand and know how to compute and define rational numbers, perform basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with fractions, decimals, and percents, apply basic fundamental rules of exponents as well as scientific notation,, and more in algebraic and geometric processes..
