Virtual Nerd: this is a source of additional videos that may be helpful. Both the Middle School Math 8 and Pre-Algebra are useful for this course.

Vocabulary: this is a list of the math vocabulary we need to know.

These are some skills you should already know going into middle school Pre-Algebra. You can brush up on you skills or if you have a question about prior knowledge you can come here and get some extra help.

Pre-Algebra Review: All videos listed under Tools of Algebra

• Number Line
• Variable?
• Evaluate an Expression
• Plug in for Variables
• Vocabulary

These are additional videos for our first Unit called Input-Output Relationships. It is a big unit covering an overview of Pre-Algebra in general before we move on to more specialized topics.

Relationships: All videos listed under Integers and the Coordinate Plane and Equations and Functions

• The X-Axis
• The Y-Axis
• The Origin
• Plot a Point
• The 4 Quadrants
