This series of posters explain the basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division rules of algebra. There are 6 posters in total: Addition Subtraction (x - number) Subtraction (number - x) Multiplication Division (x ÷ number) Division (number ÷ x) BODMAS Lessons that correlate to these posters can be found on my profile.

Using problem solving skills the students should have built throughout the year, this 1 hour lesson explains to students that algebra and problem solving can be very similar and will help the children to develop their algebra skills in a manor that the students recognise. This plan comes with 4 resources: A lesson plan breakdown An input PowerPoint Differentiated worksheets An extension task idea The Powerpoint has 3 sections; What is algebra This section discusses what algebra is and what the students might think it is Algebra and Problem Solving This section discusses the similarities between the two and has the children complete a problem solving question Basic Algebra. This section takes the previous problem solving question and translates it into algebra, with an additional question for the children to try themselves. The focus of this lesson is to explain how addition and subtraction work in regards to algebra and has been tested on a Year 5 class with great success.
