Background Tutorials

Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
- How Do You Square a Number?
  
  Want to square a number? Just take the number and multiply it by itself! If you square an integer, you get a perfect square! Check out squaring in this tutorial!
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
- How Do You Evaluate an Algebraic Expression?
  
  Plugging variables into an expression is essential for solving many algebra problems. See how to plug in variable values by watching this tutorial.
- What is a Variable?
  
  You can't do algebra without working with variables, but variables can be confusing. If you've ever wondered what variables are, then this tutorial is for you!
Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^2 = p and x^3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational.
- What's a Square Root?
  
  What's a square root? Why do some numbers have two square roots? What's a principal square root? This tutorial answers it all!
