Algebraic Substitution - Wheels

Turn the inner wheel to change the value of variables to substitute into algebraic expressions. Find the wheel setting that results in the highest total value from the expressions.

I’ve made the resource twice - once designed to be just printed and once where the inner wheels can be cut out and pinned to the outer wheels using paper fasteners (solutions can be found in the “cutting version”)

My main motivation in making this resource was to present fluency practice for substitution in a visually more novel format.

There are a couple of suggested further extension activities for students to consider.
