👉 Pre-math, often referred to as foundational math or elementary mathematics, encompasses the basic concepts and operations learned in early education, typically from ages 5 to 12. This stage includes understanding numbers, counting, basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), fractions, decimals, and simple geometry. It also introduces basic problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and the ability to follow multi-step instructions. Pre-math lays the groundwork for more advanced mathematical topics by building a strong numerical and logical foundation, which is crucial for success in higher-level mathematics and related fields.
