Video Transcript: Course Introduction

Welcome to pre-algebra. This course will cover the most important concepts from your previous math classes to help you excel in future algebra courses. You'll start with the review of integers and rational numbers. Then you'll move into properties of numbers, including working with exponents, roots, and mastering the order of operations. You'll learn about variables and how to simplify expressions and solve multi-step equations. Finally, you'll study lines and linear equations, and along the way you'll work with ordered pairs, the coordinate plane, and graphs. 

After gaining a firm grasp of the information in this course, you'll be primed and ready to succeed in algebra. So let's get started.
