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.

This lesson explores how the value of an expression changes depending on the specific number assigned to the variable through substitution - perfect to guide your students toward mastering algebraic evaluation through clear explanations, thought-provoking challenges, and engaging activities! Knowledge and Skills Covered: Knowledge: I know that an expression is a mathematical phrase. In this lesson, we focus on understanding that the expression itself stays the same even when the number we plug into it changes. Skills: I can substitute numerical values into a formula to find a solution. In this lesson, we focus on replacing the variables in our expressions with different numbers to calculate various outputs. What’s Included?

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.

A three level differentiated activity to practise algebraic substitution which includes practice of negative numbers and BIDMAS. Suitable for Y6 and above. Editable Word document and PDF document. Answers are included on second page.

A KS2 sheet for pupils to practice creating algebraic expressions and develop confidence manipulating algebra

**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!
