Algebra Equations Study Guide | Multi-Step Equations, Distributive Property & Like Terms | Years 7-9

Help your Years 7 to 9 students master multi-step algebra equations with this comprehensive, clearly structured study guide — covering combining like terms, the distributive property, variables on both sides, and special cases.

The guide includes a like and unlike terms comparison table, the distributive property with rules, examples and common mistakes, step-by-step solving for two-step equations, solving equations with variables on both sides, coverage of special cases including no solution and infinite solutions, a 6-step equation-solving checklist, and 6 practice problems with a full answer key.

Perfect for classroom instruction, student revision, tutoring sessions, and international classrooms — the content is universally applicable with no curriculum-specific material.

Three formats are included: a colour PDF ready to print, a printer-friendly black and white PDF ideal for class sets, and an editable DOCX so you can customise it for your students.

Printing tip: for the black and white version, select Print in Greyscale or Black ink only in your printer driver settings. This ensures only your black cartridge is used.
