In today's post I've provided links to another set of exercises from the same textbook. They cover simplifying algebra, including index laws and algebraic fractions. There's also an exercise on substitution and one on writing algebraically. For each exercise listed below I have included an extract so you can preview the type of questions covered.

I'll publish one more set of exercises next week - some on directed numbers, and some on factorising and expanding.
Huge thanks again to the teachers who typed these exercises up. I really appreciate the time and effort that has gone into this. Excellent teamwork!
I'm a little confused ... what does "excess" mean? e.g The excess of b over a - how would we word that today?
ReplyDeleteSubtract, I should think!
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like "remainder". Perhaps they want you to write it as remainder/divisor?
