This lesson titled ‘Algebraic Notation’ is fully differentiated, and uses whiteboard questions as a scaffolding and Assessment for Learning method. These whiteboard questions are also particularly useful for reducing students’ maths anxiety by providing them with multiple answer they can choose from. All of the whiteboard questions have diagnostic-style wrong answers, obtained from common misconceptions The title of the lesson is throughout the PowerPoint. This provides consistency throughout, allows students to catch up if they missed it, and takes late-comers into consideration. The date is also throughout the PowerPoint and updates automatically. This is done so that the students know exactly where it is each lesson, and to make it easier on the class teacher. A dyslexic-friendly font (Verdana) is used throughout the PowerPoint and any worksheets. Worksheets are embedded in the PowerPoint on the slides to which they relate. Animated answers to all questions are provided where possible. The learning objectives are designed to be as short sentences as possible to allow students to read them and write them down (if necessary) as quickly as possible. They also use a mixture of simplistic and specialised words to engages students’ thinking about definitions whilst allowing them to access the meaning of the sentences. These objectives are reviewed at the end of the lesson as a self-evaluation of learning technique. Students are awarded ‘brain’ medals depending on how well they have done. These are kept as simple as possible and broken down carefully. This is to encourage students to access the material whilst giving them the confidence by achieving something in the lesson. B) Understand that an unknown can be represented by a letter. S) Form expressions from sentences. G) Write sentences from expressions.

Solve the algebraic equations and use the answers to find the solutions to the codebreaker riddles in these two algebra puzzle worksheets. Fun starter activities or revision exercises for secondary maths lessons. The set includes pdf versions of two algebra puzzles of different difficulty levels plus full answers.

A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams. The chances are there will be a few mistakes here and there, so if you spot any please email me & I will correct them. Hope they are of use!

PowerPoint and Slides lesson involving an introduction to algebra and algebraic notation including writing expressions from diagrams. Please read preview before purchase

**Solving equations to find the missing letters of the alphabet! ** Suitable for the Algebra topic for KS2 children who need a challenge! Page 1 in the format ‘2x + 3 = 11’ Page 2 is tricker and involves division with algebra. Could be split in half, with one half of the class on Page 1 and the other on page 2, then coming together at the end to reveal the whole alphabet. I also used this one-on-one with a tutee. ANSWERS INCLUDED For Printed and Interactive Use! Helpful comments embedded. Perfect for teachers and tutors. Dyselxia-friendly! Sans serif font. Font size 12 minimum Clear spacing A fun way to solve algebra equations for children who are excelling with algebra. I actually used this with a Year 3 tutee (!) but this was very unusual. I would recommend it for Y4 and above definitely. Suitable for Y6 and even Y7 as a fun starter. Page 1 requires knowledge of solving 2-step algebra equations. Page 2 requires knowledge of dividing 3 digit numbers by 10 and using division in algebra. Made by Ella (@ellalessons) A full-time tutor and resource creator. Thanks for downloading!

Algebra. Creating and Expanding Double Brackets. Christmas Challenge. FULL SET Brighten up algebra in the run up to Christmas with this fun little festive challenge. Students need produce two expressions for the area of the surface of my Christmas dinner table – one with brackets and one without. They are presented with two expressions, one for the length and one for the width of the table. To find the first expression (with brackets), they need to apply the formula for the area of a rectangle i.e. multiply length by width. These brackets can then be expanded to produce a second expression for the area of the table. This is a PowerPoint Presentation so it can be easily displayed on the board and/or printed for students. What you are downloading here is the full set which contains a title page, instructions, 20 blank challenges and 20 corresponding answer slides. The full set covers:- (x+)(x+) (x+)(x-) (x-)(x-) (nx+)(nx+) (nx+)(nx-) (nx-)(nx-) A free sample is also available to download and try which contains the title page, instructions, one blank question and corresponding answer slide.

This is a presentation to be used in the teaching of Boolean Algebra. Topics covered include: Logic gates Truth Tables Simplifying Boolean expressions Karnaugh Maps

These lessons include: title date starter activities warm up/ recall questions learning goals key words contents points to note worked examples and guides With these slides, anyone can walk into a lesson and teach what needs to be taught without having to worry about planning out content Subtopics included are: Algebraic indices Expanding and factorising Equations Formulae Linear sequences Non-linear sequences

12 grid puzzles with a Christmas Theme. In each one, the pictures represent different numbers and the totals of each row and column are given. Later ones require more problem solving and totals are needed to be found.

This is a whole lesson on Collecting Like Terms. It is extremely thorough and will really help students to understand the foundations of algebra. The lesson makes the difference between adding and multiplying terms vital explicit. This lesson is ready to go, with no prep required.

Worksheet with examples, differentiated questions of 10 in each block of red - easy, amber - middle and green - hard with extension section involving worded problems Topic - about collecting like terms to simplify an algebraic expression Answers are included

This resource introduces learners to basic equations. It then progresses to solving equations which involve mulitplication of a variable e.g. 2x = 20 so x = 10. It then progresses to solving two step equations by using the balancing strategy. For each topic covered the Powerpoint has a few quick questions and links to games that can be played on an IWB with learners.

Pupils need to find out who murdered Ant and Dec and why by solving algebra questions
