Pre-Algebra introduces the language and structure of algebra (variables, equations, expressions) that are used continuously in middle and high school math courses such as Algebra I, Geometry, and later courses like Algebra II and precalculus.

Algebra 1 is critical for high school success because it provides the core reasoning and skills teachers use in nearly every subsequent math course. Mastery of Algebra 1 makes Geometry, Algebra 2, statistics, and precalculus accessible, improves performance on standardized tests and placements, and builds the abstract thinking and problem‑solving habits that support success across STEM classes and many other subjects.
