Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
How do you count what is sealed inside a box?
Red boxes hold 4 pens each and blue boxes hold 5 pencils each. Buy $x$ red and $y$ blue, add 3 loose pens, and the total is $4x + 5y + 3$.
↳ A letter lets you write down an answer before you know the numbers.
Four words that questions use constantly.
↳ Knowing which piece is which is half of what these questions test.
What are the terms of $2y - 5$?
They are $2y$ and $-5$, not $2y$ and $5$.
↳ Read the sign in front of a term as part of that term.
Stage 1 has 1 tile, stage 2 has 3, stage 3 has 5. How many at stage 100?
Counting works for the next stage and fails for the hundredth.
↳ The point of a pattern rule is to skip ahead without listing everything in between.
How do you find the rule behind a pattern?
Tiles: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. Stages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
↳ Always test a guessed rule on a stage you already know.
What exactly makes a pattern linear?
In 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 the gap is 2 every single time — never 2 then 3, never doubling.
↳ Constant difference is the test; check it before calling anything linear.
A polynomial is arithmetic with a letter in it, built from one variable and its whole-number powers. This topic sets out the vocabulary — terms, coefficients, constant term and degree — shows how a polynomial acts as a m…

A pattern is linear when consecutive terms differ by the same amount every time, and that constant difference turns out to be the coefficient in its rule. The same shape describes a quantity rising by a fixed amount each…

Two quantities that change together at a fixed rate are tied by y = ax + b, and two readings are enough to recover the whole rule. Drawn on the plane that rule is a straight line, where a sets the steepness and direction…

178 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
What is the value of $3x^2 - 2x + 5$ when $x = 2$?
Beginner13
$3(4) - 2(2) + 5 = 12 - 4 + 5 = 13$.
Find the value of $4x + 7$ when $x = -3$.
Beginner−5
$4(-3) + 7 = -12 + 7 = -5$.
Evaluate $2x - 9$ at $x = 6$.
Beginner3
$2(6) - 9 = 12 - 9 = 3$.
What does $x^3 - 1$ come to when $x = 3$?
Intermediate26
$27 - 1 = 26$.
