How can I improve my algebra?

Question

I have an important Algebra test coming up and my algebra knowledge is basic, it goes as far as expanding, factorising etc. Are there any websites out there that will help me come up to scratch?

Ok, I've tried google and I can't come up with anything that is either too basic or too advanced.

Answer 1

Your texbook has a lot of problems at the end of each chapter. Do all of them. At least five per day. There's no easy way to learn, sorry.

Answer 2

I am not sure of the level you are studying at but I will assume it is GCSE. Get hold of a copy of the BBC book 'GCSE Bitesize Revision.' There is one for the Higher and one for the Intermediate levels. It covers key facts and reminders and has practice exercises. They will have them at your local library or buy from WH Smiths fort about £5.

Also, look out for the BBC Bitesize Revision programs. There is one that covers algebra. You will have to set a video/DVD recorder as they start in the middle of the night. The Radio Times has details of when they are televised. Also, there is a Bitesize website at:

Lots of tips and practice exercises.

The best help you can get is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. There is absolutely no substitute.

Best of luck

Answer 3

There is a good site I was told to go on last year in eighth grade, it was aaamath.com it teaches you how to graph inequalites, slope and any other things you might have problems with. There is another site brainpop.com but I think it only teaches you the basics.

Answer 4

Here's a couple of sites that I recommend:

Ask Dr Math is quite entertaining.

It's also not a bad idea to see how many of the problems posted here you can solve.
