Maths Helper training course content
The Maths Helper training course consists of 4 modules:
Maths Helper Module 1 Numbers and Operations
In module one, we will begin by covering number basics. We will move on to working with variables and the order of operations for both integers and fractions. Before wrapping the module up, we will look at the rules of exponents, positive and negative integers and zero powers.
- Properties of Numbers
- Variables
- Order of Operations with Integers
- Order of Operations with Fractions
- Exponent Rules; Positive Integer, Negative Integer, and Zero powers
Maths Helper Module 2 Equalities, Equations, and Calculations
In module two, we will work on operations using the decimal system. Also included in module two is how to use expressions and equations, and non-integer calculations. Additionally, we will examine how to calculate percentages, equations, and how to figure mark-up and discounts.
- Decimal System
- Expressions and Equalities
- Ratios and Proportions
- Percentages and Equations
- Mark-up and Discount
Maths Helper Module 3 Inequalities, Linear Functions, and Geometry
In module three, we will review inequalities and linear functions. We will discuss how to find slope, intercepts, and graph linear equations. Also included in module three is how to find the midpoint and use distance formulas, and find the perimeter and area of a selected section.
- Solving and Graphing Inequalities
- Cartesian Coordinate System
- Slopes, Intercepts, and Graphs of Linear Equations
- Midpoint and Distance Formulas
- Perimeter and Area
Maths Helper Module 4 Monomials, Polynomials, and Applications
This last module will refresh you on operations with monomials and polynomials. We will review techniques to approaching word problems and engage with real-world applications of your math knowledge.
- Operations with Monomials
- Operations with Polynomials
- Approaching Word Problems
- Rate Word Problems
- Money and Spatial Word Problems
