Mathematics Topics
Math is not the easiest subject. Math serves a various range of topics that tests a student's ability to solve problems efficiently. Many students are not the most enthusiastic about math as a whole.
Review
During summer break, many students forget certain concepts they were taught. Teachers get the chance to reintroduce certain topics from previous grades to slowly get students back into math. Students relearning concepts from previous grades will allow teachers to start to teach new topics. Review is important because when students face a problem with a formula they learned in a previous grade, they will not be able to solve the problem until they relearn the entire formula. Some teachers will build off of the review and expand on a certain topic. Many students will usually get behind the topic in a short amount of time, so teachers usually can get through the review without any issues. Not all review elements get reintroduced. Sometimes, when something is very easy, teachers do not need to reteach their students the topics.

Formulas
Formulas are equations that can solve specific equations. The Pythagorean Theorem is one example. Calculating the length squared and the width squared gives the hypotenuse squared, which can be square rooted. Another popular one is the quadratic equation. It is used to solve equations when the entire polynomial is equal to zero. The quadratic formula uses the plus or minus symbol to determine if the answer is positive or negative. Another example of a formula is the area of circles. Multiplying pi by the radius squared gives the answer. Formulas are essential for figuring out certain problems that regular math cannot do as well.
