Algebra is one of the most powerful forms of mathematics we have devised. It helps us to study numerical patterns, and requires us to write them down in a special system of symbols. To understand how algebra works in this way, in this exciting program we travel to Hong Kong to search for patterns. This program explains the basic concepts of algebra including number patterns, pronumerals, algebraic expressions, order of operations and expanding and...
