This Mathematics Curriculum book, first published in 1978, begins by giving a short account of what 'algebra' means, to inform those readers whose mathematical training did not take in the most recently included topics of school syllabuses, and to refresh the memories of those who were exposed to these ideas. Objectives in the teaching of algebra and mathematical aspects of algebra in the school setting are discussed. Topics covered include functions and mappings, solving equations, matrices and simultaneous equations, relations and inequalities, and algebraic structure. The book is a guide to the historical context of algebra teaching at the time and reviews some of the textbooks available. Many of the resources will be out of date but the principles are still relevant today.
