This is a lesson I usually use for year 7 or low ability classes in year 8 or 9. The aim of the lesson is to demonstrate how we change the symbols when working backwards. I teach this lesson before I move onto the solving of simple equations. After the worked examples there is a worksheet which students can complete in class or as a piece of homework.

This worksheet can be used by students who have just been taught how to find the area of a circle. I have a PowerPoint which I use over two lessons which firstly encourages them to find the formula for the area of a circle. Then collectively we write down a better formula with some verbal history thrown in, before attempting some examples at the board. This PowerPoint is available to purchase. On completing the PowerPoint students can then demonstrate their new skills with this worksheet. The answers to this worksheet are included with the PowerPoint.

With my year 11 foundation group struggling with recent Best Buy questions I put these two slides together for further practice. I worked through the first example and then they attempted the following questions before we checked answers together.
