**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 - Early Morning Tasks / SATs Revision - Differentiated ** Year 5 / 6 Suitable for lower ability year 7 classes Differentiated (Three different levels of challenge) 5 Days worth of slides Questions and Answers White Rose / SATs style questions Could be used at the start of Maths lessons / plenary Keep topics fresh Tried and tested resources in the classroom

Sheets on expanding brackets, finding the rule ,converting fractions/decimals/percentage and operations with decimals and fractions. Good drill and quiz sheets.

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.

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.

Year 6 activity and presentation focusing on solving equation. Presentation and activity focuses on the same style of questions that are in the new national curriculum assessments. 3 levels of differentiation (Mild, Hot and Spicy)

A fully resourced algebra lesson for being able to form algebraic expressions (e.g. 5n or 3n + 4) in Year 6 based on the objective from White Rose Maths. Included in the resource is: A lesson PowerPoint with starter, vocabulary, modelling (with teacher notes) and guided practice Lesson plan Worksheet with answer sheet Scaffolded worksheet with answer sheet Modified worksheet for those who need additional changes to access the learning with answers Challenge tasks Support strips that can be stuck in books Everything is included that could be needed to run the lesson successfully, with each resource carefully considered in ensuring accessibility for all as well as ensuring there are plenty of opportunities for challenge to provide depth of understanding.

This lesson bridges the gap between the physical and the abstract, guiding students to discover how letters and symbols act as placeholders for any number in a sequence. By moving from function machines to formal notation, students will master the ability to articulate and apply the logic of formal algebraic expressions through clear explanations, thought-provoking challenges, and engaging activities! Knowledge and Skills Covered: Knowledge: I know that a variable is a letter or symbol used to represent a value that can change or is currently unknown. In this lesson, we focus on replacing the empty input box with a letter to create a general rule. Skills: I can translate a word problem into a formal algebraic expression or equation. In this lesson, we focus on writing out the rules of our function machines using letters (e.g., x + 5) instead of words. What’s Included? Your download includes everything you need for a successful lesson: Unit Overview Notes: Outlines the knowledge, skills, and pre-requisites for the entire unit. This lesson is part of a 6 lesson unit, exploring ‘Can we use symbols and patterns to predict the unknown?’ Detailed Lesson Walkthrough/Notes: Includes a step-by-step guide with guiding questions and key discussion points. Guiding Questions: Great opportunities for AfL throughout your lesson, designed to help your students draw on their previous learning and make purposeful connections. Lesson Slides: Engaging slides to guide your lesson. Lesson Activities: Includes accessible, low-floor high ceiling activities that all students can access through adaptive teaching, leading to improved confidence. There are also opportunities embedded in the lesson for further challenge to extend learners further and outlined strategies to enable learners.

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.
