This resource introduces learners to basic equations. It then progresses to solving equations which involve mulitplication of a variable e.g. 2x = 20 so x = 10. It then progresses to solving two step equations by using the balancing strategy. For each topic covered the Powerpoint has a few quick questions and links to games that can be played on an IWB with learners.

This algebra worksheet helps children to practise substituting, writing algebraic expressions and solve equations in algebra. It is suitable for children in Year 5, Year 6 and Year 7. It would also make a really great homework activity.

The sheet can be given as a challenge to your high ability students or it can be used to assess student’s understanding of algebra. All 8 problems contain real life problems. Students must use the information to form and algebra equation in order to find the correct answer. Space is provided for the students on the sheet to show their solving. There is an answer sheet provided in order to make the teacher’s life a little easier.

**Solving equations to find the missing letters of the alphabet! ** Suitable for the Algebra topic for KS2 children who need a challenge! Page 1 in the format ‘2x + 3 = 11’ Page 2 is tricker and involves division with algebra. Could be split in half, with one half of the class on Page 1 and the other on page 2, then coming together at the end to reveal the whole alphabet. I also used this one-on-one with a tutee. ANSWERS INCLUDED For Printed and Interactive Use! Helpful comments embedded. Perfect for teachers and tutors. Dyselxia-friendly! Sans serif font. Font size 12 minimum Clear spacing A fun way to solve algebra equations for children who are excelling with algebra. I actually used this with a Year 3 tutee (!) but this was very unusual. I would recommend it for Y4 and above definitely. Suitable for Y6 and even Y7 as a fun starter. Page 1 requires knowledge of solving 2-step algebra equations. Page 2 requires knowledge of dividing 3 digit numbers by 10 and using division in algebra. Made by Ella (@ellalessons) A full-time tutor and resource creator. Thanks for downloading!

Getting students to understand that letters in equations are simply unknown numbers is the first step to successfully teaching algebra, without them stressing too much.

Take the confusion out of algebra wit this fun outdoor activity where the students will simplify and solve differentiated algebraic problems. They will be given a task card containing an equation which will consist of sticks, leaves and numbers. They must first simplify the equation by creating it on the playground using stick, leaves and chalk before writing a possible solution to the algebraic equation underneath. It’s a great lesson to introduce students to solving equations and representing numbers through letters / objects. This pack contains 24 differentiated task cards (1 - 10 are simple equations and 11 - 20 are more complex). Please don’t forget to rate this resource to let us know what you think.

Enabling pupils to develop their mathematical reasoning skills through independent work is a key element of the Mathematics Mastery programme. This activity explores the concept of algebra. • Pupils should complete these tasks using concrete manipulatives as part of the CPA approach • Pupils should be encouraged to explain their working in full sentences • These tasks may be adapted with pupils working in pairs to encourage mathematical discussion Like what you see? Mathematics Mastery is a professional development programme for teachers with a mission to transform mathematics education in the UK. This task is just a taster of the complete classroom resources we offer. We also provide in-depth development training, online CPD, specialist support and assessment tools. We believe all elements of our programme are vital in creating lasting change – enabling every child to enjoy and succeed in mathematics. Want to find out more?

Algebra can be great fun outdoors! This activity will introduce simplifying algebraic equations to your children while exploring sticks and leaves found in your outdoor space. They will be given a differentiated task card containing a formula which they must build before simplifying. The ‘x’ represents sticks and ‘y’ represents leaves. If the formula reads x + y + x they must order stick, stick, leaf and then write ‘2x + y’ underneath. This pack contains 22 card with 8 challenge cards.

Starter activity in PowerPoint involving solving simple algebraic problems. There are 20 different questions of varying degrees of difficulty. All question slides have animated answers. How to play Get students to draw a 3x3 grid in their books, then select 9 numbers between 1 and 20 from the larger grid (NO REPEATS). Select a student to answer a question (the answer is animated in when you next interact with the board) if they get it right, they get to cross off one of their numbers from their grid (any student with the same number can also cross off that number). Cross off all 9 and BINGO…they win. What do they win, you decide (I hand out pens sometimes or get the rest of the class to give a round of applause). I’ve made it sound more complicated than it really is. This activity is great as a starter or as a plenary as well as testing prior knowledge. Hope you like.
