Algebra
Read what a letter represents, build an expression and solve for an unknown number.
Your child learns to use a letter, such as n, for a number nobody has counted yet. Your child writes expressions from a story, collects like terms, substitutes a value for the letter, builds a total from a table of daily amounts, solves simple equations from a bar model, and finds an unknown side on a rectangle from its perimeter.

About this chapter
These Primary 6 algebra questions follow the syllabus in order: a letter for an unknown number, writing and simplifying expressions, substituting a value and solving simple equations. Later pages use the same skills on tables of data and on the sides of a shape.
Practise by question type: algebraic expressions from words, simplifying algebraic expressions, algebra substitution questions, solving simple equations, algebra word problems with a table and algebra perimeter and area questions.
