2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 30 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Algebraic Expressions And Polynomials after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Literal numbers are letters used to represent numbers.
  • Variable: a literal number which can have different values.
  • Constant: a literal number which has a fixed value.
  • An algebraic expression combines numbers, variables, and operations.
  • Terms are parts of an expression separated by + or - signs.
  • A term may contain a numerical coefficient and a variable part.
  • A polynomial is a special kind of algebraic expression.
  • Three conditions must be satisfied for an expression to be a polynomial.
  • The general form in one variable has terms up to x^n.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any expression with letters is a polynomial.

The coefficient of x is always the number written with x, even in terms like (1/3)xy.

The degree of a term is the number of letters in it.
