Twiddle this page! Study With Others: twiddla.com has developed a collaborative whiteboard with audio & text chat that allows students, tutors & teachers to explore & scribble on blank pages and copies of  webpages together,  If scribbling is awkward with one browser, try another.


In Volume 2, Three Skills for Algebra, Chapters 8  to 14 and postscript What is a Variable point to a greater & clear use of words in algebra. Chapter 14 introduces a 4th skill for algebra, an  elaboration of  the third: - The direct and indirect use of formulas, numerically and algebraically, is unifying theme that should be mentioned aloud, with words, in each and every use of formula.
