Week Two - Mane 26th April

Today we began looking at algebra. In algebra we use letters to represent numbers we don't know (unknowns) or numbers that can change (variables). We have rules about how we write things in algebra:

• We don't write x, instead we put letters right adjacent to numbers e.g. 2y
• Numbers always come first then letters in alphabetical order e.g. 3pqr
• instead of a divide sign we use a fraction e.g. 8/x

Homework: 6.8-6.10 (since I forgot to tell you about this on Friday)
