This course provides a review of basic arithmetic skills. It begins by reviewing traditional by-hand calculations, including multiplication and long division. Integers are introduced (signed numbers) and then all operations are combined, including exponents and grouping symbols, using the correct order of operations. The concepts of prime factorization, LCM and GCD are introduced to lead in to fraction arithmetic. Fraction arithmetic includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and mixed numbers as well as combined operations using the order of operations. Basic proportions and unit prices are used to solve problems. Decimals, and their relation to fractions, with both negative and positive signs are studied. All basic operations are applied to decimals. Then percentages and ratios and proportions are studied. We finish the course by learning about measurement systems and unit analysis, along with basic geometry including the Pythagorean Theorem. Every unit of study features applications as well as pure theory. By-hand calculations are taught and used at all levels.
