Algebra: From Equations to Functions
Like Duolingo, but for Algebra: From Equations to Functions. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
26 levels across 4 sections, about 52 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Solving with Strategy, Seeing the Shape, Advanced Manipulation, and The Logic of Algebra. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in Algebra: From Equations to Functions
- The equals sign represents a scale that tips if one side is modified alone
- Isolating a variable requires reversing the standard order of operations
- Applying an operation to only one term instead of the whole side breaks equality
- Addition and subtraction are typically undone before multiplication and division
- The fundamental rule of maintaining equality through balanced operations
- The sequence of operations used to isolate a variable by reversing PEMDAS
- The distributive property multiplies the outer term by every term inside the parentheses
- Like terms must have the exact same variable and exponent to be merged
- Distributing removes parentheses so terms can be moved across the equals sign
- Combining constants and variables into one term is a syntax error in algebra
- Identifying which terms can be combined to simplify an expression
- Substitution replaces the variable with the solution to check for a true statement
- Using the distributive property to remove grouping symbols
- A correct solution results in both sides of the equation equaling the same value
- Verifying a solution's accuracy through substitution
- A system solution must satisfy every individual equation at the same time
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Algebra: From Equations to Functions the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
