About
Discover the power of variables - letters that represent mystery numbers! Learn to identify variables, coefficients, and constants in algebraic expressions, then become a mathematical detective by evaluating expressions through substitution. Expect interactive activities, guided practice, and collaborative problem-solving that builds your confidence with algebraic thinking.
Prerequisites: Basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and understanding of order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
Materials needed: Paper, pen/pencil, and calculator (optional)
Hope to see you there! 😃😃

Sun 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM UTCAug 24, 6:30 AM - 7:30 AM UTC
In this session, we'll start by reviewing variables and expressions from our previous lesson, addressing any questions or doubts you may have and clearing up confusion to ensure everyone feels confident with the fundamentals. If we move through the review quickly, we'll advance to more challenging expression evaluation problems, including expressions with multiple variables (like 2x + 3y when x = 4 and y = 2) and multi-step substitution problems that will stretch your algebraic thinking skills.
