ALGEBRA
In algebra, we replace numbers with letters or
other symbols. This makes it easier to study
numbers and the connections between them –
for example, to look at how they form patterns
such as number sequences. By using algebra, we
can also write helpful rules, called formulas, in a
way that makes it easier to solve maths problems.c
