Algebra is a branch of mathematics that involves the use of symbols and letters to represent numbers and mathematical relationships. It is used to study mathematical operations and structures and to solve equations and problems that involve unknown quantities.
Algebraic thinking also involves the use of algebraic properties and techniques, such as the distributive property, the associative property, and factoring, to simplify equations and solve problems. It can be applied to a wide range of mathematical concepts, from arithmetic and geometry to calculus and beyond.
