This report on the Teaching and Learning of Algebra pre 19 by Jennie Golding, Tim Clark and Darren Macey (UCL) was commissioned by the Joint Mathematical Council of the United Kingdom (JMC).  This report reviews current evidence on the teaching and learning of algebra up to age 19 in the UK, updating the 1997 Royal Society/Joint Mathematical Council Teaching and Learning Algebra report in light of new research, curriculum developments, assessment practices, and the rapid expansion of digital technologies. While most of the conclusions of the 1997 report remain valid, the concerns raised in the 1997 report have been only partially addressed, and the wider context in which algebra is used has changed.
