EXPECTED Level Algebra Task

I will learn how algebra to describe and generalise patterns that occur in the realworld. Algebraic techniques allow us to manipulate expressions into different forms in order to compare these patterns. Throughout this unit you will develop skills to: Use index laws and properties to simplify expressions Expand algebraic expressions and binomial products. Factorise algebraic expressions and quadratic trinomials Rearrange formulas to make different variables the subject.
