👉 Default math, often referred to as standard arithmetic or elementary mathematics, is the foundational system of numbers, operations, and concepts used to perform basic calculations and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, and basic algebra. It typically includes operations with whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, and sometimes rational numbers, and is taught in primary and secondary education. This math forms the basis for more advanced mathematical topics and is crucial for everyday life, from budgeting and cooking to understanding scientific measurements and statistical analysis.
