Students will learn how to solve equations involving brackets and fractions, solve equations where the variable occurs more than once and learn how to rearrange formulae.
Students will learn how to construct grouped frequency tables for data, interpret and draw grouped frequency diagrams, compare two distributions by using an average and range and select the correct average when analysing data.

The idea of representing the unknown with a symbol and then working to solve the meaning of the symbol. The word comes from the Arabic al-jebr meaning “reunion of broken parts”. The history of algebra began in ancient Egypt and Babylon, and was refined in medieval times by Islamic scholars to something very similar to what we use today.
Students are likely to collect, interpret and analyse data in subjects such as geography and science.
