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
A set of seven lessons (over 80 slides) covering adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing algebraic fractions. The power points can be used on their own to introduce and provide practice examples on algebraic fractions. They can also be used to provide revision notes or help for pupils who have been absent from class.
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 resource on algebraic proofs, constructing your own using common starting points such as ‘consecutive integers’ and ‘odd numbers’
The lesson is structured using Rosenshine’s principles of instruction.
Worksheets and Answers are included.
A PowerPoint conversion from my SMART file is included too if you do not have access to the SMART NOTEBOOK
If you enjoy this lesson and the resources, if it saves you time, lightens your huge workload or engages your students, please leave me a REVIEW as your feedback is valuable to me as it helps me improve and create more resources that meet your needs.
Two lessons, including worked examples and practise questions.
Topics: 1. Solving Equations
2. Substitution into Expressions
3. Simplifying Expressions
4. Expanding Brackets
5. Factorising Expressions
Starter activity in PowerPoint involving solving simple algebraic problems.
There are 20 different questions of varying degrees of difficulty. All question slides have animated answers.
How to play
Get students to draw a 3x3 grid in their books, then select 9 numbers between 1 and 20 from the larger grid (NO REPEATS).
Select a student to answer a question (the answer is animated in when you next interact with the board) if they get it right, they get to cross off one of their numbers from their grid (any student with the same number can also cross off that number). Cross off all 9 and BINGO…they win. What do they win, you decide (I hand out pens sometimes or get the rest of the class to give a round of applause).
I’ve made it sound more complicated than it really is. This activity is great as a starter or as a plenary as well as testing prior knowledge.
Hope you like.
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!
This resource includes:
A PowerPoint that can be used with a class,
A scaffolded student version of the PowerPoint with gaps for the students to fill in,
A differentiated worksheet with answers included.
This resource is suitable for Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 students and is linked to the Australian curriculum. This resource focuses on basic algebra skills, including algebraic terminology, gathering like terms, multiplying and dividing algebraic terms.
These two lessons are for capable KS3 students. Start with ‘1. Algebraic Proof Introduction’ and the accompanying handouts and then continue with ‘2. Algebraic Proof Multiples’ and its worksheet.
Students are introduced to the idea of letting any number be n and to finding expressions for consecutive numbers, odd and even numbers. Students then find expressions for sums and products and finally learn how to prove that such an expression is a multiple of a specified number.
There is also a resource entitled ‘KS3 Algebraic Proof Extension’, that extends this topic.
Getting students to understand that letters in equations are simply unknown numbers is the first step to successfully teaching algebra, without them stressing too much.
Overview
This resource is a comprehensive set of 10 downloadable worksheets designed to reinforce and enhance students’ skills in GCSE Foundation Algebra Maths topics.
Worksheet Structure
It includes 10 worksheets, each worksheet is split into practice and exam questions, one for each of the following topics:
Forming and Solving Equations
Simultaneous Equations
Changing the Subject
Collecting Like Terms
Expanding and Factorising
Indices
Inequalities
Sequences
Solving Equations
Substitution
Answer Key
Accompanying the 10 worksheets are answers to each one. This resource serves as a valuable tool for both self-assessment and facilitator guidance, allowing students to review their work independently or seek assistance when needed.
Printable Format
The GCSE Foundation Maths Algebra Worksheets is available in a downloadable DOC format, making it easy for teachers, parents, or students to print the worksheets and answers for offline use. Clear instructions are provided to ensure a seamless learning experience.
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. It is also great for home learning. 20-slide presentation + lots of resources
The lesson includes:
a starter
lesson objectives (differentiated)
keywords
superb teaching slides
lots of examples
embedded questions (with answers)
Worksheet (with answers)
Exam Questions (with answers)
Matching Activity (with answers)

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.
8 pages of questions in either full colour, fireworks only colour or limited colour with answers provided. Using a protractor or knowledge of algebra to calculate angles on a straight line, this colourful resource will brighten up your lesson and display board! Laminate to reuse again and again.
PowerPoint and Slides lesson involving an introduction to algebra and algebraic notation including writing expressions from diagrams.
Please read preview before purchase
A sequence of lessons containing animated examples, tasks and answers on how to use algebra tiles with algebraic notation, collecting like terms, expanding single and double brackets, factorising and solving equations.
**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.
