Maths: Foundation: Algebra
31 eLearning modules · CPD Certified · SCORM
Algebra focuses on using symbols to represent numbers and relationships. Students learn to simplify expressions, collect like terms, and expand brackets. Substituting numbers into expressions, solving one-step and two-step equations, and understanding inequalities are key skills. Algebraic fractions, sequences, and formulas are introduced, along with rearranging simple formulas. Graphs of linear functions, including plotting points and interpreting gradients and intercepts, are studied. Problem-solving and reasoning with algebra are emphasized, including word problems and patterns. The topic develops logical thinking and prepares students for more complex mathematics by linking numbers, shapes, and real-world applications.
