Algebra I on Khan Academy: Algebra is the language through which we describe patterns. Think of it as a shorthand, of sorts. As opposed to having to do something over and over again, algebra gives you a simple way to express that repetitive process. It's also seen as a "gatekeeper" subject. Once you achieve an understanding of algebra, the higher-level math subjects become accessible to you. Without it, it's impossible to move forward. It's used by people with lots of different jobs, like carpentry, engineering, and fashion design. In these tutorials, we'll cover a lot of ground. Some of the topics include linear equations, linear inequalities, linear functions, systems of equations, factoring expressions, quadratic expressions, exponents, functions, and ratios.

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

How come when my teacher explains it I don't get it, but when you explain it makes much more sense! Thank you Khan

great lesson.. I have an eighth grader struggling in math.. I pray watching your videos will bring her up to speed..the kids laugh at her when she gets something wrong and she gets turned off from school really.. I try to tell her everyone makes mistakes sometime.. I tell her I'm happy when you at least try..thanks again for your video

I missed a few days of school due to sickness and came back to algebra class and it felt as if they were speaking a different language. This is so helpful thank you!

I like that there's a link to extra practice after watching the video. It solidifies concepts that were covered in the video
