Activities to help students to tackle algebra with confidence

By
Vaneeta Manners

Algebra needs to be taught well if all students are to gain the solid foundation they need to work confidently with this fundamental curriculum strand and to progress with the mathematics curriculum more broadly.

The first book in the Algebra for Everyone series has been created to provide the informed, practical support both teachers and students need to get algebra learning off to a strong start. Concepts are presented in a variety of ways to help students build their understanding and to gain extensive practice without it feeling repetitive. Interactivity is another effective feature as students work with each other to strengthen their understanding of the main algebraic techniques.
