Basic Algebra, learn the building blocks of math

Basic Algebra teaches the first, essential steps of math, the core patterns taught around junior-high level. Think of it as your pocket book of rules, worked examples, and clear explanations, always ready on your iPhone or iPad whenever you (or your kids) need it.

Learn through simple flashcards: read the problem, swipe through the deck, tap to flip the card for the answer, and open a step-by-step explanation whenever you want to understand why. Forgotten something? Flip back and try again.

What you'll learn

• Order of operations — what to solve first, and in which order
• Parentheses — the rules, and the hidden multiplication sign
• Exponents — powers and how to rewrite them
• Fractions — add, expand, and reduce
• Percent — estimate in your head, the one-percent method, and VAT
• Equations — from the simple cases up to two unknowns
• Test yourself — check what you've learned

Now in your language Basic Algebra can automatically translate everything — topic titles, descriptions, and even the words inside the formulas — into German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, with English as the original. Translation happens entirely on your device, so what you study stays private. (Automatic translation requires iOS 18 or later; the original content is written in English.)
