Algebra for students preparing to start A Level Mathematics
Algebra is the backbone of mathematics. Nearly every problem you solve will require you to use some algebra. We have put this pack together to help you recap your GCSE algebra knowledge and fill in any gaps you may have. This way you will be ready to start when you come in September and can focus on learning the new and exciting things A level maths has to offer.
Work through the booklet, watching the suggested videos and try the exercises given. Clearly show all your working on lined paper. Answers are provided, so you can mark and correct you work. Please use a green pen for this. Highlight anything you need help with. There will be plenty of support available when you come to college in September.

Solving linear equations
Solve the following linear equations. Please check your answers and mark/correct them in green pen using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eNM4GV-X9s&feature=youtu.be
Solve 2+3x = 7
Solve 6x + 7 = 5 − 2x
Solve 2(3𝑥 − 2) = 20 − 3(𝑥 + 2)
Solve
𝑦−4
2=
𝑦
3+ 1
