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!

**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!
