Basic Algebraic Expressions and Algebraic Fractions - AlgeBasics
Algebraic terms, Notations in Algebra, Simplifying Algebraic Expressions, Algebraic Fractions and Indices
Tutorial
Introduces the rules for basic algebra - the multiplication and division of algebraic terms, followed by the concept of addition and subtraction. Teaches the easy way to remove brackets. The methods can be applied to all sums, both easy and complicated ones, unlike some methods which are only suitable for simple sums.
Simple mental exercises at the end of each session help to strengthen the concepts learnt.
It also teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of algebraic fractions and indices.
Practice
AlgeBasics is capable of generating thousands of sums on algebraic expressions, algebraic fractions or indices for drills to ensure that the student masters these very important basic skills in algebra.
Algebraic Expressions
It includes sums on addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, order of calculations, removal of brackets and simple indices such as 2b2 x 5c x 3b.
The sums get progressively more difficult if a student is doing well. If a student is doing badly, the numbers will be kept simple to let him focus on the concepts.
Algebraic Fractions
Includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of algebraic fractions. Simplifying algebraic fractions by cancelling and removal of brackets.
Indices
Includes addition, subtraction and multiplication of positive indices and miscellaneous sums requiring a combination of these methods.
Worked Examples
More than 150 worked examples provide help for students who have difficulty in doing the sums.
Reports
You can print out a report at the end of each practice session. The report shows each sum with its correct answer and the students answer marked. It also includes the percentage score, the average time taken to do each sum and other details.
