Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols and rules for manipulating symbols to represent quantities without fixed values called variables. Equations in algebra describe relationships between variables, just as sentences describe relationships between words. The objectives of teaching algebra include helping students express abstract ideas concisely using symbols instead of words, solving complex arithmetic problems using equations and factorization, and developing accurate analytical skills.

2. ALGEBRA IS A BRANCH OF MATHEMATICS
DEALING WITH SYMBOLS AND THE RULES FOR
MANIPULATING THOSE SYMBOLS. IN ELEMENTARY
ALGEBRA, THOSE SYMBOLS (TODAY WRITTEN AS LATIN
AND GREEK LETTERS) REPRESENT QUANTITIES WITHOUT
FIXED VALUES, KNOWN AS VARIABLES. JUST AS
SENTENCES DESCRIBE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
SPECIFIC WORDS, IN ALGEBRA, EQUATIONS DESCRIBE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VARIABLES.
DEFNITIONOF ALGEBRA:

3. EXAMPLE FOR ALGEBRA:
• 2(3 + 8) is a numeric expression. Algebraic expressions include
at least one variable and at least one operation (addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division). For example, 2(x + 8y) is
an algebraic expression.

6. OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING ALGEBRA:
• 1. The first aim of teaching Algebra is to help in expression of
abstract ideas. Words and phrases as the instrument of ideas are
replaced by symbols helping in clarity and conciseness.
• 2. Teaching of Algebra should enable the students to use in the
solution of some of the stiff problems in arithmetic. Equation and
factorization help in this direction.
• 3. This inculcates in students the power of accurate analysis.
