Students will engage with solving linear equations, an essential skill in algebra. They will encounter equations requiring a variety of methods to isolate and solve for the variable, including simple one-step equations and more complex multi-step problems. By mastering these techniques, students gain a deep understanding of algebraic principles and prepare for advanced mathematical challenges.

Linear equations form the backbone of algebra, representing relationships where variables change at a constant rate. Students will explore how these equations are structured and learn to identify their components, such as coefficients and constants. Understanding linear equations is crucial for students, as it lays the groundwork for more complex subjects in mathematics, including calculus and differential equations.

Students learn how to graph linear equations, transforming algebraic expressions into visual representations. They will use techniques such as plotting points and applying the slope-intercept form to draw lines accurately on a coordinate plane. This skill is vital for visualising mathematical concepts and provides a foundation for further studies in analytic geometry and calculus.
