Learning How to Simplify Algebraic Equations

WALT: Simplify Algebraic Equations




Working out: 6 / 2 = 3 + t = 3t
Answer: 3t


Our focus for Term 4 is algebra, which I don't really know how to do because I did it so long ago.


The Teacher taught us by doing the proper equation first, (6 / 2 = 3), but also if there is two of the same letter, while dividing the numbers you also divide the letters, in this e.g. 'r' and 's' cancels each other out completely. 
The remainders being 3 and 't', the correct answer is 3t. 


It was hard to get the hang of the strategies' and process of simplifying, but I found it making more sense after the few example questions that the Teacher did with us. 
I found simplifying less daunting and I overall find it more easy and fun to simplify algebraic questions.
