A language of mathematics can be thought of as algebra. It is well acknowledged that having language proficiency opens up more options for you in a given nation. In relation to algebra, the same is true. For those in all fields of study and employment that use this language, algebraic proficiency is a necessity. It takes time to learn a language, and it develops over time through intensive listening and speaking practise. Young children typically start learning a language more easily than adults, and this is because they are more receptive to learning new things. Algebra can be compared to arithmetic in some ways, but since algebra is built on arithmetic, it makes sense to begin with arithmetic when learning mathematics.

Everyone in a modern culture attends school for a significant amount of time. This education prepares them to be responsible members of society who can take care of their own daily needs while also working to support themselves and the larger community. What kind of competency should schools highlight in modern cultures, we must question. Does teaching kids basic math skills like arithmetic and statistics suffice to prepare them for life in general, or do we need to spend more time teaching them algebra? Many people with strong educational backgrounds in many fields of technology, such as computer science and engineering, are required in today’s society. Environmental and economic challenges are present in contemporary life. Algebraic language proficiency is necessary in all of these fields. In current society, there are many different professions that require an understanding of algebra. It is crucial for all levels of instruction in the natural sciences, including mathematics itself as well as physics, biology, and chemistry. You must be proficient in the algebraic language if you wish to study geometry in college. Algebra is a subject that should be taught in school and is included in curricula around the world for good reasons. However, numerous evaluations have demonstrated that there are significant regional differences in the focus placed on teaching algebra to children. This essay covers the findings of several analyses of this type conducted over the previous two decades using information from numerous research conducted at various academic levels.  

This covers topics like possible justifications for some countries’ lack of emphasis on algebra, the relationship between pure and applied mathematics, and some reflection on teaching and learning algebra from the perspective that algebra is a language. Students’ equal rights to pursue all forms of education and, as a result, the opportunity for a variety of positions in society are also covered.
