Thinkwell Prealgebra (8th Grade Math)

Thinkwell Prealgebra

Most math struggles in Algebra 1 start long before Algebra 1. Thinkwell Prealgebra helps learners build the skills, understanding, and confidence needed for success in higher-level math through expert instruction, guided practice, and automatic grading.

Taught by award-winning mathematician Dr. Edward Burger, this online course breaks prealgebra concepts into manageable lessons that explain not only how to solve problems but also why mathematical procedures work. Clear video instructions, worked examples, and immediate practice help learners develop a deeper understanding of the material.

The course covers the topics typically expected in a strong prealgebra program, including integers, fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, equations, inequalities, exponents, square roots, geometry, probability, and data analysis. Along the way, learners strengthen both computational skills and mathematical reasoning.

A complete 36-week lesson plan is included, along with hundreds of instructional videos, automatically graded exercises, quizzes, chapter tests, a midterm, and a final exam. Printable worksheets, answer keys, grade reports, and progress-tracking tools make it easy to monitor progress throughout the year.

Because the course is entirely online, lessons can be completed from any device with internet access. Learners may follow the suggested schedule or work at their own pace, reviewing challenging concepts as needed.

For families looking for a rigorous prealgebra course that can be completed independently, Thinkwell Prealgebra combines expert instruction, thorough practice, and flexible scheduling into a single comprehensive program. Its clear instruction and built-in accountability help prepare learners for the transition to Algebra 1 and beyond.
