Expressions, equations, formulae and identities are all slightly different types of algebraic notation. In this video we’re going to discover the differences. An expression is a collection of letters and numbers, with no equals sign. An equation is two expressions that equal each other, and so can be solved. A formula is a special type of equation. It shows the relationship between different variables, like the area of a circle and the radius. A formula needs more than 1 variable - otherwise it is just an equation. An identity is another special type of equation. They are equations that are true no matter what values are chosen. The two sides of an identity are interchangeable, so we can replace one with the other at any time. Strictly speaking, for identities we should use the three bar sign which means “equivalent to”. But it is common to just see the normal equals sign.

Interest is the amount charged by a lender to a borrower. It means that if you borrow some money from a bank, you have to pay back more than the money you borrowed. Equally, if you have a savings account and deposit some money, the bank will pay you interest as a sort of thank you for saving with th
In this video we are going to look at a few different ways in which plant hormones can be used. Plant growth hormones (auxins) can be used as selective weedkillers. The selective weedkillers contain growth hormones, that cause the weeds to grow really quickly. This means the weed is absorbing nutr
Algebraic fractions are simply fractions with algebraic expressions either on the top, bottom or both. We treat them in the same way as we would numerical fractions. In this video we look at how to simplify algebraic fractions, and how to add and subtract them. VISIT us at www.fuseschool.org, wh
