prealgebra
Before variables class
Prealgebra is the branch of mathematics that prepares students for algebra, typically covering arithmetic operations, fractions, decimals, percentages, basic geometry, and introductory concepts like variables and simple equations.
It bridges elementary arithmetic and formal algebraic study, usually taught in middle school: She's taking prealgebra this year.
