Algebra: am studying to be a primary school teacher?

Question

I am in my second year studying to be a primary school teacher. I do all my studies extramurally (long-distance-learning), and this weeks work uses some key terms used in Algebra that we need to know the meanings of. Here are the ones I'm not exactly clear about, and would like a better description:

~ equalities

~ inequalities

~ repeating

~ rules

~ generalisations

I am aware of what some of these mean, but wanted to ensure i word them properly.

Thanks

Answer 1

equalities= numbers or terms that are equal

inequalities= nombers or terms that are unequal

repaeating= a number or term that repeats itself. For example, a repeating decimal in a division problem

rules= any kind of rule that applies to mathematics. For example, the distributive property, the associative property, etc

-generalizations= not sure about that one
