Algebra is critical in shaping future mathematics success and is integral to the K-12 curriculum. Despite its inclusion, a common challenge arises as students' progress to higher grades without a solid foundation, resulting in challenging learning experiences. This action research study focuses on the algebraic learning experience of a Grade 7 student. The research explores various teaching and learning approaches, including consideration of cognitive development milestones, real-world applications, interactive learning, differentiated instruction, personalized learning plans, technology integration, and innovative assessment methods. Findings suggest that aligning instructional methods with cognitive development, incorporating real-world applications, facilitating interactive learning, offering differentiated instruction, personalizing learning plans, integrating technology, and utilizing innovative assessment approaches enhance the engagement and comprehension of algebraic concepts.
