Introduction to Solving Equations

Two complete lessons introducing solving equations then covering solving one and two step linear equations. Plenty of differentiated questions, starters, plenaries and extra mini-whiteboard questions to test fluency.

There are teaching slides for you to talk through sample questions followed by plenty of progressively more tricky questions.

Comprising:
Starter - inverse function machines to recap inverse operations
Key words - variable, term, expression and equation slide
Illustrated explanation of keeping an equation balanced by doing the same to both sides
Teaching slide - solving one step equations involving + & -
Practice questions - slide of practice qu’s solving one step equations + & -
Teaching slide - solving one step equations involving x & /
Practice questions - slide of practice qu’s solving one step equations x & /
Practice questions - slide of practice qu’s solving one step equations mix of all 4 operations
Teaching slide - solving two step equations
Practice questions - slide of practice qu’s solving two step equations
Teaching slide - solving two step equations (harder)
Practice questions - slide of practice qu’s solving two step equations (harder)
Choice of two plenaries
Thirteen mini whiteboard questions and answers.
