This unit helps you understand the building blocks of numbers and mathematical operations. You’ll learn how to work with different types of numbers, solve equations, and recognize patterns. You'll also explore how algebraic expressions can represent real-world situations. These skills are important in everyday life — from budgeting and shopping to analyzing trends and solving problems!
Number is about understanding numbers, their properties, and how we use them in math. It covers topics like counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as working with different kinds of numbers (whole numbers, fractions, decimals, etc.).
Algebra is about using symbols (like letters) to represent numbers and solving problems by finding unknown values. It involves understanding patterns, relationships, and how numbers can change, like solving equations or working with expressions.
Together, Number and Algebra help us solve real-world problems, recognize patterns, and understand how numbers and operations work together to find solutions. They are the foundation for many other areas of math and everyday life, like budgeting, calculating distances, or even analyzing trends.
