Introduction

This booklet contains math facts and concepts that should be well known by every student in grade 6 and up. These facts and concepts form the fabric of knowledge, the foundation, necessary for success in the middle school and high school math classroom. Teachers assume that you already know these things.

When these facts and concepts are at your fingertips, new material encountered becomes an extension of things you already know. Without them, it seems like every new topic has to be learned from the beginning.

As you ask yourself questions based on these facts and concepts, you will be pleased by how many of the things you already know. At the same time, you might be surprised by some of the things you don’t know (yet).

Many of these facts and concepts are already well known to you. Study and learn the ones that are not.
