Prealgebra and Algebra

Completed elementary school, but not introductory algebra

Students who have completed an elementary school curriculum but have not taken a Prealgebra (or equivalent) course should start with Prealgebra. Students who have worked with square roots, basic variable expressions such as 2x + 3, and basic linear equations such as the equation 2x + 7 = 23, but who have not taken an Algebra 1 course or an equivalent, may be ready to move on to Introduction to Algebra.
