Up to the first or second chapter, depending on the book being used is more than sufficient to cover the foundational concepts. Sets, and Properties such as closure over given operations, and mathematical relabeling which is a function (f(x), the requirements for it (uniqueness of x, and projection onto) along with the tests for the presence of these, and common mathematic systems properties.

This naturally provides easily understood limitations of math systems which can be tested if there is a question, and allows recognition when they violate the properties that naturally lead to common mistakes, as well as providing a space where they can use numbers/geometry/reasoning at play.
