⭐ Get Ready for Pre-Algebra

A Confidence-Building Foundations Course for Middle School Math

Get Ready for Pre-Algebra is a self-paced, homeschool-friendly math course designed for students who are almost ready for Pre-Algebra—but still feel shaky with the foundational skills that matter most.

If your child:

• “Gets it” in the moment but forgets later

• Struggles with the basics or fractions, decimals, or negative numbers

• Feels anxious or overwhelmed when math gets harder

• Has memorized procedures without truly understanding them

Then this course is for you!

This course was created specifically for students and parents who want mastery without tears.

✔️ What This Course Focuses On

Instead of rushing ahead, Get Ready for Pre-Algebra strengthens the skills that make or break success in middle school math:

• Number sense and place value

• Fractions, decimals, and percents (with understanding, not tricks)

• Integers and absolute value

• Order of operations

• Math and Algebra vocabulary and notation

• Basic one-step equations

• Problem-solving strategies and mathematical thinking

Every concept is taught with a why-first approach, so students understand what they’re doing—not just what steps to follow.

📘 What’s Included

• Structured, self-paced lessons with videos for each concept

• Clear, student-friendly explanations

• Guided practice throughout the video and independent work at the end of each “chapter.”

• Detailed answers keys for all practice and tests
• Practice tests and test to assess understanding

• Parent-friendly organization—no prep required and completely student led!

This course is designed to be completed over approximately 8 weeks (like a summer class), but students may move faster or slower depending on their needs.

🏡 Perfect for Homeschool Families Who…

✔ Want a solid bridge before Pre-Algebra or even to review basics before Algebra 1 
✔ Have a child who needs confidence more than pressure
✔ Prefer mastery-based learning over busywork
✔ Want flexibility without sacrificing structure
✔ Are teaching multiple ages or learning styles

This course works well as:

• A supplemental foundations course

• A summer bridge

• A remediation or confidence-building reset

• Preparation before a full Pre-Algebra curriculum
