Description
Algebra is widely recognised to be a difficult aspect of the Mathematics currciculum - one that not all pupils see the point of. Yet an understanding of algebra provides the key to the great power and potential interest of Mathematics in general. Up to now, detailed advice and guidance on the teaching and learning of algebra has been difficult to find. Here, however, Doug French provides a comprehensive, authoritative and, above all, constructive guide to the subject.
