Solving One and Two Step Equations KS3

A complete, ready-to-teach Power Point lesson on solving one and two step equations for KS 3 Maths (Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9). It also works as a recap for Foundation students.
This 1 hour lesson uses the balance method and inverse operations, and follows the I Do / We Do / You Do teaching sequence. Everything is ready to use, from a 5-7 minute starter to an exit ticket, so there is no planning left to do.
What is included (editable slides):
Starter activity on inverse operations and directed numbers (5-7 minutes)
Language of equations: unknown, coefficient, constant, inverse operation, balance method
A clear 4-step method
5 worked I Do examples, from x- 4 = 9 up to x/4- 3 = 2
5 We Do questions with hints, including a negative solution
5 mini white board check for understanding questions, including a spot the mistake task
Differentiated You Do task in 5 tiers (Starter, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Challenge) with model answers
Exit ticket with 3 questions and mark scheme
Teacher notes on every slide covering common misconceptions
Topics covered: one step equations (add, subtract, multiply, divide), two step equations, inverse operations, the balance method, negative solutions, checking answers by substitution, and forming equations from word problems.
Ideal for: first teaching, revision, cover lessons, observations, intervention and homework follow-up.
