What is an algebraic expression?
An expression is a mathematical statement where variables and operations are combined.
Examples
What is an algebraic equation?
An equation is where an algebraic expression is equal to something, which might be a number, or another algebraic expression.
Examples
How to Generate an Expression
When we are generating an expression, we are taking a rule and turning it into algebra.
Examples
How to Calculate an Expression
When we are calculating the value of an expression, we work out the value of the expression when we give a value to the variable.
Examples
How to Solve a Simple Equation
When we are solving an equation, we are finding out the value(s) of the variable in the equation.
Examples
These questions involve solving equations, working out the value of expressions and also generating expressions.
They are a combination of questions from all the above categories.

It is a useful tool for exploring different ideas including negative numbers and algebra equations and equality.
Probably the most useful part of the app is to use the 'Solve It' section once you are confident how it works.
You can then select your level of difficulty and start solving some algebraic equations by getting your variables onto one side of the equation and the numerical values on the other, and then multiplying or dividing the equation until you find the value of the required variable.
