Quiz · Algebra & Equations
Algebra is just arithmetic with a mystery number. Substitute values, collect like terms, expand brackets, factorise and translate words into expressions. A friendly first step into the language mathematicians use to describe the world.
Letters stand in for numbers: simplify expressions, solve equations, read straight-line graphs and master powers, roots and standard form.
Before you start
You have 15 seconds for each question. When time runs out, the question counts as wrong.
Your first choice is the one that counts. It is checked straight away, with an explanation where there is one.
At the end you see your score and can go back through every question and its answer.
XP scales with your score. Replays earn XP only when you beat your previous best.

Mathematics · Algebra & Equations
An equation is a balance: whatever you do to one side, do to the other. Solve one- and two-step equations, unknowns on both sides and brackets, read gradients and intercepts from straight-line graphs, and crack a pair of simultaneous equations.
