As a side job, I am a professional tutor. I have a student that struggled through his last year in Pre-Algebra, and ultimately failed the final, despite all the work I did to prepare him. So, next year, they are going to put him in Pre-Algebra again. His mother and I have agreed to spend this summer getting him proficient in the very basic of basics of algebra. So, I am preparing a very small "boot-camp" style set of problems that we are going to go over this summer until he is proficient in at least the most basic concepts.
What would you all suggest as a minimum level of competency to succeed in a pre-algebra course?
