20 divided by 4= 5 is arithmetic.
a divided by b =c, values known and unknown, is algebra.

It kind of, wasn't explained at all! From what I remember it was kind of ' Here, do this'!
I got a D and needed a C for 'A' levels but I got around it by saying I would re-takeGCSE Maths alongside the 'A' Levels. The college Maths room was freezing and noisy and I decided I couldn't be bothered with it so I left after one lesson.
