About
Want to have a good foundation of some of the most important topics in Pre-Algebra and shown throughout Algebra 1? We will be learning everything there is to know about equations (multi-step, variables, systems), inequalities (multi-step, variables, patterns), and exponents (word problems, factors, variables). The topics that will be covered are listed below!
- Algebraic equations basics
- One-step equations (PEMDAS)
- Finding mistakes in one-step equations
- One-step equation word problems
- Intro to inequalities with variables
- Dependent and independent variables
- Prime and Composite Numbers
- Prime Factorization
- Writing Expressions/Equations
- Word/Number Patterns
- Combining Like Terms
- Distributive Property and Substitution
- Equivalent Expressions
- Two step equations w/ decimals & fractions
- Interpreting linear expressions
- Systems of Equations (substitution, graphing, elimination)
- Equations w/ variables on both sides, parenthesis
- Slope-Intercept Form
- Graphing Proportional Relationships

Hello! I'm Suhani, a high schooler from Northern Virginia and I'd like to help others as a tutor. Currently, I participate in Science Olympiad with my interest in Math, Science, and Writing. I also take part in a Model United Nations Club at my school. A few of my other hobbies include playing sports (swimming, golf, basketball, track), art, reading, and hanging out with friends. I'm excited to tutor with Schoolhouse and helping you all!

Factors and multiples
Factors and multiples
Thu 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTCJul 14, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTC
We will be covering the definitions of factors and multiples and then moving forward to prime numbers, composite numbers, and prime factorization. We will also be doing many practice problems and answering any questions about the topic along the way!
Optional practice will always be posted at the end of each session in the chat and any notes or other session material covered are available by request!

Patterns
Patterns
Mon 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTCJul 18, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTC
We will start off by simply understanding math patterns through tables and then move to constructing them! This means writing expressions, evaluating expressions with and without parenthesis, and then translating those expressions. Moving forward, we will understand number patterns and practice rules, tables, graphs, and relationships that work with two variables.
Optional practice will always be posted at the end of each session in the chat and any notes or other session material covered are available by request!

Variables & expressions
Variables & expressions
Wed 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTCJul 20, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTC
Part One! Time to start learning about variables! Definitely, one of my personal favorite things to learn about! We will be covering parts of algebraic expressions and then learn about substitution and evaluating expressions as well as word problems. This will include distributive property, equivalent expressions, and combining like terms!

Equations & inequalities introduction
Equations & inequalities introduction
Tue 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTCJul 26, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM UTC
We will begin working with one step equations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and finding mistakes in them. We will then cover word problems and begin an intro to inequalities w/ variables and work our way into dependent + independent variables!
