👉 Pre-math, often referred to as foundational math or elementary mathematics, is the set of basic mathematical concepts and skills learned before formal algebra and calculus courses in high school. It includes arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), number properties (such as commutativity and associativity), fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, proportions, geometry (basic shapes, angles, and spatial reasoning), and basic algebra (variables, equations, and inequalities). These topics form the building blocks for more advanced mathematical studies, providing essential tools for problem-solving and logical thinking. Understanding pre-math is crucial as it lays the groundwork for more complex mathematical ideas and prepares students for higher-level courses in mathematics, science, and engineering.
