Algebraic lessons - leading to challenge and independent learning

6 easy to follow outstanding lessons and resources to teach algebra.

1. To simplify algebraic equations with multiplication and check it is correct
2. To simplify algebraic expressions of addition and subtraction and then check they are correct
3. Investigations in how to formulate algebraic equations from patterns
4. A more advanced investigation to formulate data of their own in order to create algebraic equations. This could take several lessons. This is completely independent.
5. There are also some worksheets using brackets which could be taught very easily but no plan is in place for this.

All the lessons teach pupils to become more independent learners. It is a series of lessons which get progressively more challenging.
