Building a Foundation for Algebra
A Basic Overview of Algebra (Part 1): Building a Foundation for Algebra
Hello and Welcome back to Mathematics and the Sciences. In this video we build the basic foundations needed to understand algebra. We begin by first constructing an understanding of manipulation techniques which are vital in algebra. We then show how we can use these manipulation techniques with variables.
This video also introduces a myriad of terminology, Such as:
1) Mathematical Statements
2) Equations
3) Equality and the Equals Sign
4) Expressions
5) Terms
6) Constants
7) Variables
8) Coefficients
9) Like Terms
