What should students review before starting Algebra I?

Question

Algebra I moves quickly. Here’s what I recommend reviewing to build confidence from day one.

Answer 1

Before starting Algebra I, students benefit from reviewing key pre-algebra concepts like:

1. Integer operations and order of operations
2. Fractions and decimals
3. Basic properties of equality and inverse operations
4. Patterns and simple equations
5. I help students build fluency in these areas so that Algebra I concepts like solving equations, graphing, and understanding functions don’t feel overwhelming. A confident start sets the tone for a strong year.

Answer 2

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

Before starting the course I would brush up on your Arithmetic, so that means things like remembering the Order of Operations, working with Proportions, and working with Fractions and Decimals.

I would also go over basic mathematical terminology and work on your logical reasoning.

That should have you set up for a great school year in Algebra :)
