What is 1 thing Ive learn't this week.
What is 1 thing Ive learnt this week? Well this week Ive been lerning abt maths /algeabra and when you first start lerning algeabra. And the first thing to answer this question for example (3x2) +4=? well in algeabra you have to start with the brackets which are these --> (3x2) and you have to start with those because that is howyou can do that answer for do this qustion here --> (3x2)+4=? well I would do the brackets first then the +4 then (3x2)= 6 then + 4= 10.
Math is good for your brain and would even help you with jobs like being a cashier and new world or even at countdown becuase maths can help u with anything or what job you have but some times buiders need maths to do there paper work and planing out. And how to start the building or even the shape of a house or anything that your doing.![]()

Algebra Order of Operations.
What I learnt about Algebra order of operations and in algebra you have to use Brackets: ( ) ,Exponents, D-M: Division and Multiplication and S-A: Subtracktion and Addition but in algebra questions are like this for exsample 1. (2x2)+4= but in algebra if the brackets do them first then the +4 so like this (2x2)=4 right then 4+4=8 so the answer is 8.
In Algebra we use Brackets, Exsponents, Division, Multication, Subtraction and Addtion but in class algebra is very inportant because when your older and go to work you will need to use algebra for work problem solving work.
Algebra is hard when you first start learning algebra bubt when you get used to it you will start geting it more and more then you will start using it when you get older and going to work or in constrution witch is planing were blocks go but algebra is good for your brain at times becuase sometime when you go somewhere you might need to use it when your traveling around the world or going to other places.
