Teach your child how to do Algebra in a simple way

in steemiteducation •  7 years ago  (edited)

Before you can start with algebra you first have to get your mindset right. Tell yourself that it is easy. I will show you how to do it.

Understand the operation of the straight line with the positive and negative numbers and you will not have a problem with algebra.

In the middle of the lines is a 0 which separates the positive figures from the negative figures.

In other words, we can put a plus sign between each digit.

On the negative side we do exactly the same.

STEP 1: Take out all the positive numbers. Count them together and write down your answer with a big plus.

STEP 2: Do the same with the negative numbers.

Subtract the largest number from the smallest number and keep the sign of the largest number and that is your answer.

The method below was how it was taught to me in school and it is just more difficult to understand.

If it was easier for you please let me know I'd like to help with other math problems.

The next algebraic lesson will be about.....

What should I do first when there are brackets involved?

Thank you very much for your interest.2018-01-05 15.55.49.png

This is a great technique. I have to show it to my daughter. Thanks.

Keep on following my hubby @moscato. He is going to give a new lesson every few days. I never could understand Algebra until he showed me these easy methods.
