This video gives an overview of what this course will cover.

Variables (Level 1)6:22
This video will teach you the fundamentals of algebra. You will learn about variables, variable expressions, numerical expressions, simplifying and evaluating algebraic expressions.
Variables (Level 2)6:52
This video goes over a couple of examples showing how to determine if a statement is true or false, how to simplify numerical expressions and how to evaluate variable expressions.

Equations (Level 1)4:42
This video goes over the basic structure of open sentences and finding solutions (roots) of simple algebraic equations over a given domain.
Equations (Level 2)5:22
This video goes over a couple of examples modeling the proper way to find the solution set of simple algebraic equations over a given domain. The video goes over equations that have one solution, many solutions and no solutions.

Translating Words Into Symbols (Level 1)8:26
This video shows you how to translate mathematical phrases written in words and translating them into variable expressions. Common phrases involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are covered. In addition, the video introduces the use of formulas. Specifically, the area and perimeter of a rectangle, the distance traveled and cost formula.
Translating Words Into Symbols (Level 2)9:22
