- The use of letters and symbols to represent numbers and quantities in formulas and equations.

- Example: Solve for x in the equation x + 3 = 7 -> x = 4

3. Geometry:

- The study of shapes, sizes, and properties of space.

- Common shapes: triangle, square, circle

- Example: Area of a rectangle = length × width

4. Fractions and Decimals:

- Fraction: A part of a whole, written as 1/2, 3/4, etc.

- Decimal: A fraction written in a special form. Example: 0.5, 0.75
