In this lesson you will learn about what is coming up in this section of the course. You will be briefly introduced to each of the main learning outcomes so that you know exactly what to expect as you go through the following lessons.

In this lesson you will learn about using variables in maths. You will see step by step how to start using them and how you should approach using them. Get the confidence that comes from familiarity with this important part of algebra. Learn how variables like x, p, q, r, s and t are just "placeholders" for a value that makes an equation true.

In this lesson you will learn the basic rules of fractions so you will know how to work with them in practice. Watch Kyle as he teaches from his workspace exactly what you need to do to apply these rules of algebra. Learn the basic rules of Fraction Addition and Subtraction using the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD). Become confident in Fraction Multiplication and Division of Fractions. Perfect use of these Fraction Operations will help you to understand how to solve questions involving variables and fractions

Learn how to perform basic rules of fractions and see step by step how to solve various operations with fractions. Get a practical and clearly explained lesson that will help you gain the confidence you need to succeed. These additional examples of Fraction Division will help ensure that the rule of "Tip & Times" really makes sense to you

Ditch your calculator - quickly recognise perfect squares so you speed up your maths! Also learn to recognise and apply exponent notation for squares.

Perfect cubes are also common in algebra and it's important for you to recognise them and work them out. This lesson will help you speed up your calculations of perfect cubes.

Learn the basic algebra rules of fractions and practice various operations by following along with Kyle as he give syou a step by step explanation.

Learn combinations of operations with fractions and learn by watching, practicing and applying your knowledge so that you will be successful.

Review the answers to the questions involving Perfect Squares, Perfect Cubes and Roots

Review the answers to the Fraction Operation Questions covering Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division and combinations of these questions. See the answer to the challenge question looking at 'fractions on fractions'.

This lesson explains the assignment where you will write up a quick update about how well you handled all the practice question in the course. Which ones did you battle with and how can Kyle help you overcome any challenges you still have? We would love to hear from you so that we can give you further support and help you be successful.
