Rates, proportional relationships, and ratios

Throughout your day you probably encounter situations where you need to compare two numbers using the same or different units of measurement. Perhaps you want to know how many math problems you can complete in an hour…or how many scoops of ice cream you get out of a gallon bucket. In this set of tutorials you will learn about rate, a special ratio in which two terms are expressed in different units of measurement, and about proportional relationships, how one variable changes in proportion to another. You will practice solving problems and then construct a few of your own.

Negative Numbers

In this group of tutorials, we'll explore the world of negative numbers. Unlike real life where we perceive anything "negative" as being bad, we'll see that negative numbers are quite useful and central to all mathematical concepts. We'll practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing negative numbers; learn about absolute value, negative exponents, and exponents with negative bases.

Fractions and decimals

I bet if you were asked to give a number, your answer would be a whole number. Don't forget about fractions and decimals--they're numbers too, only expressed differently. In this set of tutorials we'll demonstrate adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and decimals, as well as converting fractions to decimals and vice versa. Finally, we'll get into some word problems so you can see how often fractions and decimals play a part in our everyday life.

Variables and expressions

In this section, the rubber really hits the road (algebraically speaking, of course). For example, order of operations is the starting point for solving all equations. Learning to combine like terms is equally important. We'll also look at manipulating and interpreting expressions, understanding two step equations, and linear inequalities. Lots of great stuff in this series of tutorials.


Why is geometry important? It's all about shapes -- triangles, circles, pyramids, spheres, diamonds, and more. Geometric shapes are all around you, and the world is built with them. In this series of tutorials and exercises you'll become familiar with Euclidean geometry and terms like segments, scale drawings, parts of a circle, area, volume, angles, and geometric figures.

Statistics and probability

We begin our exploration of statistics and probability with a basic understanding of measures of central tendency, including the mean, mode, and median. We'll then look at the importance of sample populations in statistics, in particular that are representative and random. Next up is a discussion of basic probability and the "chances" of a random event occurring. We'll wrap it up looking at different kinds of probability and how we can estimate those, especially when compound events are involved. So get your coins and start flipping. We're going to have some fun!
