I am trying to classify the following types of math into categories, and I don't remember exactly where they should fall. Can anyone help?

I have categories of 'Algebra' and 'Basic math', but if more categories need to be added, I can do that too.

Fractions (reducing, adding, multiplying, etc)
Factorials
Square Roots
Percentages
Exponents
Rounding Decimals
Order of Operations


Are ALL of these considered 'Algebra'?

Basic Math: fractions. percentages, rounding decimals.

Pre-algebra: Order of operations, exponents, square roots.

Factorials ? Really are not used much except for permutations and combinations in probabilities and statistics.

Thanks SCIENCE GUY! It's been a loooong time since I've worked with any of this.
