One of the most commonly asked questions in a mathematics classroom is, “What will I ever use this for?” Some teachers can give a good, convincing answer. Others hem and haw and stare at the floor. My favorite answer is, “Algebra gives you power.” Algebra gives you the power to move on to bigger and better things in mathematics. Algebra gives you the power of knowing that you know something others may not know. Algebra gives you the power to be able to help someone else with an algebra task or to explain to your child these logical mathematical processes.

Algebra is a system of symbols and rules that is universally accepted and understood, no matter the spoken language. Algebra provides a clear, methodical process that can be followed from beginning to end. It’s an organizational tool that is most useful when followed with the appropriate rules. What power! Some people like algebra because it can be a form of puzzle-solving. You solve a puzzle by finding the value of a variable. You may prefer Sudoku or Ken Ken or Wordle, but it wouldn’t hurt to give algebra a chance, too.

Inside:
• Get simple explanations paired with practical examples
• Stay on track with a fresh approach to common teaching methods
