Stuck on “Math that introduces letters as variables” in Cokie Jam? We have the answer

It looks like we’ve got another school-related Buzzword in Cookie Jam this weekend. First, we had to solve “Stick used to measure,” then we shifted to a sporty theme with “Football, soccer, tennis.” Now we’re back in the classroom, and it’s not everyone’s favorite subject. It’s known as the queen of all sciences. So, if you’re still struggling with “Math that introduces letters as variables,” here’s a little help.

Answer to “Math that introduces letters as variables” in Cookie Jam

This was the moment when some of us really started to struggle to understand what was happening on the board in math class. But without further ado, here’s the answer:

1. Math that introduces letters as variables – Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses letters, symbols, and numbers to represent values and relationships. Instead of working only with numbers, algebra introduces variables (like x, y, or z) to stand in for unknown or changing quantities. So it’s often called the “gateway to higher math” because it lays the foundation for subjects like geometry, calculus, and physics.

The word “algebra” comes from the Arabic word “al-jabr,” meaning “reunion of broken parts.” It was first used in the 9th century by Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a Persian mathematician. But algebra’s roots go back even further – Babylonians (around 2000 BCE) were already solving problems with unknowns, though they didn’t write equations like we do today. Later, Greeks and Indians expanded on these ideas, introducing symbols and methods. By the 16th–17th centuries in Europe, algebra started to look like modern algebra, with letters like x and y standing for variables.
