Equations are used everywhere: in computers, business, internet searches, medicine to name a few examples. Which is why we study them a lot in Maths. We have names to describe the different parts: coefficients, variables, constants and exponents. A variable is a symbol for a number we don’t know yet. It is usually a letter. A number on it’s own is called a constant. These are different to the numbers in front of variables: these are called coefficients. They are different to constants, because coefficients always multiply by a variable. A number and a letter is a coefficient and a variable. But a number on it’s own is a constant. If a variable doesn’t have a coefficient in front of it, it means the coefficient is 1. But in algebra we don’t write the 1: 'a' instead of '1a'. Sometimes we can even have letters to represent coefficients: ax + by. Exponents tells us how many times to multiply the value by itself. The exponent has a few different names: exponent, index, power.

Learn about graphs. In this introductory video we will introduce coordinates, quadrants and the two axis: x-axis and y-axis. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/FuseSchool VISIT us at www.fuseschool.org, where all of our videos are carefully organised into topics and specific orders
Vaccinations protect both humans and animals from a wide range of preventable and potentially serious illnesses. With vaccines, we take advantage of one of the most important aspects of the immune system: the ability to develop immunological memory. This means that once a person or animal is expose
Dividing a polynomial by an integer or an expression is really just another way of simplifying. There isn’t actually anything new to learn: you just need to be able to simplify numbers (like 20/15 simplifies down to 4/3) and know how to divide with indices (when you divide with indices, you subtra
