Basic Math Skills Rescue, Part 2

The Critical Foundations of Algebra


There are three clusters of essential math skills that all students need to learn and master. These are the foundational skills that will gradually lead children to algebra. Students need to have a strong understanding of these topics. These skills are aptly called the Critical Foundations of Algebra.Students need to fully understand these skills conceptually.
They need to be able to compute accurately with them.
They need to be able to apply them to problem solving.
Automatic recall of number facts is also vitally important.
The concepts, computation, problem solving, and recall of facts are mutually supportive of one another.




The Critical Foundations of AlgebraWhole Numbers.
Fractions and decimals, including percents, integers and positive and negative fractions and decimals.
Some aspects of measurement and geometry.




With a strong background in these areas, students will be prepared for success in algebra and beyond.

The importance of a student's success in algebra cannot be over-emphasized. Algebra is the gateway subject that will equip students to take more advanced math, science, and technical classes. Success in algebra opens many doors to a higher education and a rewarding career; lack of success in algebra will sadly result in these doors staying closed.
