Showing 7 concepts in Math.
The bridge from arithmetic to algebra: working confidently with fractions, decimals, percents, and negative numbers, mastering the order of operations, and meeting the first variables.
The core language of algebra: solving linear equations and inequalities, working with variables and expressions, and graphing lines.
The study of shapes, sizes, angles, and space — lines, triangles, and circles, area and volume, and logical proofs.
Algebra taken further: quadratic, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, plus more advanced equation-solving and graphing.
The mathematics of triangles and angles: the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, the unit circle, and periodic (wave) functions.
The preparation for calculus: deep work with functions and their graphs, advanced trigonometry, and a first look at limits.
The mathematics of change: derivatives (instantaneous rates of change) and integrals (accumulated totals), both built on the idea of a limit.
