    Study Notes

    Algebraic Operations

    • BIDMAS (Order of Operations) is a rule to follow when working with integers, fractions, and decimals.
    • It stands for Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

    Simplifying Expressions

    • Collecting like terms is a process of combining terms with the same variable and coefficient.
    • It is essential in algebraic operations, especially in multiplication and division.

    Brackets and Formulae

    • Single brackets are used to group numbers and variables to follow the order of operations.
    • Constructing formulae involves using variables and constants to represent real-world problems.

    Factorising

    • Factorising linear expressions is a process of expressing an algebraic expression as a product of simpler expressions.
    • It is used to simplify complex algebraic expressions.
