Revise collecting like terms, how to use algebraic notation and symbols correctly, simplifying expressions, and multiplying a single term over a bracket.

Many mathematical operations are easier to handle in this way. “For instance, expression simplification amounts to finding a shorter equivalent representation of a tree,” say Lample and Charton.

Learn the meaning of like and unlike terms and simplify algebraic expressions by collecting like terms with this BBC Bitesize Maths article. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

You can then "solve" the math expression, which may involve simplifying, transforming, or solving for a specific variable.

The internet stands divided by a viral math problem that is a "poorly written equation." Can you solve 8÷2(2+2)?
