Algebra

This online course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation in algebraic skills, focusing on solving a variety of equations and graphing linear relationships, all within practical, real-world contexts. The course emphasises the applicability of algebra in everyday life, helping you understand how mathematical concepts can be used to solve problems in work-related situations, personal finance, and daily decision-making.

Throughout the course, you will:

• Develop algebraic fluency by solving linear and direct variation equations, including understanding the concepts of variables, constants, and coefficients.
• Apply algebra to real-world scenarios such as budgeting, business calculations, and personal planning, demonstrating the power of algebra in everyday problem-solving.
• Master graphing skills, learning how to graph and interpret linear relationships and direct variation models. You will explore the graphical approach to linear modelling, understanding its relevance in contexts like pricing, speed, and distance.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently use algebraic techniques and graphical models to analyse and solve problems in your personal and professional life, building a deeper appreciation for the role algebra plays in shaping everyday decisions.
