Academic Year Mathematics

Prealgebra begins by formalizing the rules of arithmetic that students learned in elementary school, building on a rigorous foundation as they move into algebra. We then survey a wide range of topics, including number theory, algebra, geometry, counting, statistics, and probability. Each topic is introduced with compelling problems, including many drawn from major national math contests such as MATHCOUNTS and AMC 8. We place special emphasis on challenging word problems throughout the course.

Homework and exams

Students should expect to spend 1-3 hours on homework every week. Homework will be assigned and completed through the class website, where students receive immediate feedback on their work. Students will take three in-class exams throughout the course.

The textbook for the course is Prealgebra by Art of Problem Solving.

Hardcopy and lifetime digital access to the online version of the textbook are included in the tuition and fees of this course.

Sample Problems

Below are examples of some of the types of problems that students will encounter in our Prealgebra course.

Our family regularly talks about AoPS. We try to think about how our life would be different without you all. What if my daughter hadn't learned to love math? What if she never experienced being pushed to her limits? Overcoming failure? She wouldn't be who she is. And she is AWESOME! A very proud mom here. We are so fortunate that we found AoPS Academy. I credit AoPS for much of her confidence.

Instructor To Be Announced

We have not yet announced an instructor for this class, but we are working on it! It can take time to match all of our classes to our instructors' daily schedules. However, all AoPS instructors are exceptional educators, and each section of this course will cover the same basic material. Students can confidently enroll in this class and expect that one of our outstanding instructors will be assigned soon.

    S 3 Z. 4 R. Solution for Problem 12.1: (a) Back on page 402, we learned that the acute angles of a right triangle add to 90 . Therefore, in right triangle PWX we have. \PWX + \PXW = 90 . Since triangles SWZ and PXW are identical, we have \SWZ = \PXW. Substituting this into the equation above gives. \PWX + \SWZ = 90 .

  21. Any opinions on the AOPS (Art of Problem Solving) books? Does it

    They teach problem solving which a lot of math books don't do. Problem solving is the heart of mathematics so its good to learn. I have their counting and probability books and I can't recommend them highly enough. They introduce concepts with problems. Then walk you through the problem solving process, including different possible solutions.

  22. Help with getting AOPS: Prealgebra : r/learnmath

    Not only that, but AoPS offers a very attractive online format which means the books contain no mistakes (since they have all been reported and fixed over the span of the last decade). Also it's very convenient not having to wait for it to ship. So if it's that important to OP to have an AoPS book in specific, then OP should buy it; otherwise it's not all that important.
