I wrote this for those pupils who have difficulty with the traditional methods of solving linear equations, and it has gone down rather well so far. I found that some pupils didn't even need to use a set of algebra tiles. They were happy to simply visualise what was happening in the PowerPoint presentation whilst solving their equations. I hope it works for you.

Pupils often find it difficult to visualise the centre of rotation for 90 degree rotations. So instead of the trial and error approach that they often employ, try this instead. I wrote this short PowerPoint presentation to demonstrate how it works. There are 3 examples and it finally makes use of the often redundant set square! Do let me know how it goes. Thanks Paul
