Algebra that makes sense, Years 7 to 10
Algebra is where maths turns abstract: numbers become letters. Students who were fine with arithmetic can stall here — not because it is harder, but because no one showed them what the letters mean.

Understanding algebra
A pronumeral is just a placeholder for a number, and an expression is a recipe. Once a student genuinely sees that, the rules of algebra stop being arbitrary and start being sensible. Claritute spends time on that meaning before drilling the manipulation.
The lessons build the full Stage 4–5 toolkit — collecting like terms, expanding brackets, factorising and simplifying — each shown step by step, with a matching question every time. Mapped to the NSW syllabus and the exact algebra your child meets in class.
What you’ll learn
29 Claritute lessons cover algebra across Years 7–10 — each one visual and step-by-step.
Pronumerals and expressions
Collecting like terms
Expanding brackets
Factorising
Substituting and simplifying
Why families choose Claritute
Find the missing block — fast
A short diagnostic pinpoints exactly which earlier skill is causing the trouble, then builds the plan around it. Foundations first; confidence follows.
Then it’s their turn — every time
Every concept is drawn, not described — 800+ original diagrams — and each worked example hands the pen back with a matching question and a self-check.
Built and taught by Angelo Hanna
Every lesson is written, checked and taught by a registered NSW teacher and mapped to the NSW K–10 syllabus — so home lines up with school. Not scraped, not outsourced.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my child suddenly struggle in Year 7–8 maths?
Algebra is usually the reason. It is the first big jump into abstract maths, and small gaps from primary (especially times tables and fractions) suddenly bite. The Gap Finder traces the wobble to its root so you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
What is the difference between an expression and an equation?
An expression (like 3x + 2) is a recipe with no equals sign — you simplify it. An equation (like 3x + 2 = 11) has an equals sign and asks you to solve for the unknown. Claritute teaches both clearly, with worked examples.
Does this cover Stage 5 algebra for Years 9–10?
Yes — algebraic techniques is one of the largest parts of the library and runs right through Stage 5, including the higher-pathway content. See the Years 9–10 page for the full list.
