In the Year 10 Number and Algebra topic you will uncover a range of number skills and concepts, then explore how these can be generalised using Algebra. Click on the title picture of each topic below to find videos, notes and worksheets to further develop your understanding of that concept.
Before starting the Year 10 Algebra topic, it is important that you have a good understanding of BEDMAS. Here is the link to the Year 9 resources on BEDMAS.

Knowledge:
Variables (letters) are used in mathematics as a holding place for a number (or many numbers). We call it a variable because the value (number) that it represents can change (vary).
When substituting variables, it is important to follow mathematical rules such as the order of operations (BEDMAS).
Practice:
Substituting variables with whole numbers to solve problems
Grouping numbers
Identifying like terms
Simplifying by adding and subtracting
Grouping exponents
Simplifying by multiplying and dividing
Identify factors and multiples of numbers

Identify prime and composite numbers
Prime factorisation
Use prime factorisation to find the HCF and LCM
Use prime factorisation to simplify fractions
Identify algebraic factors of a term
Expand expressions involving single brackets
Factorise expressions into single brackets
Expand expressions involving double brackets
