      Great set of sheets - especially like the 2nd parts spotting and correcting common errors. Thanks for sharing.

    • One of a set of five lessons covering solving eqautions. The file shows clear step by step working for selected examples followed by extra practice examples. The work can be used for a whole class, revision for individual pupils or help for parents.

      Thank you for publishing your resource. It has been selected to be featured in a new secondary maths collection.

    • Four matching activities where students must join the equations that match the central cloud but also solve the ones that don't match. The four tasks get increasingly difficult. This is designed as a starter, plenary or discussion type exercise where you can pick a particular matching to suit your class. At it's most challenging there are fractions involved.

    Practice questions, homeworks and assessments

    • Five carefully thought-out worksheets, which have helped many classes quickly develop competency with their equation solving skills. All of these sheets contain equations that can be solved in just two steps and each worksheet gets slightly harder and allow students to progress through to equations with bracketed expressions and eventually with squares and roots.
      --
      The sheets are aimed at upper primary and secondary school students. They are particularly useful for GCSE Foundation students. Fully-worked solutions are provided, which can be projected onto a screen.

      Well done; WELL done! THANK you!

      Thanks for sharing!

    • Beginning with relatively easy equations and building up to equations with fractional parts on both sides of the equals sign. I am writing this for a new class so that I know where to start on equations, but the anagrams are always popular too, offering an incentive to finish. Typo corrected.

      As ever a top quality resource with well thought-out progression through the quesitons and a nice hook to encourage students to persevere. Thank you for sharing freely.

    • These worksheets (with detailed solutions) enable steady progression by allowing students to take the first steps, then strengthen and extend their skills in solving equations which have the unknown on both sides.

      For similar-style worksheets on other topics, click 👉 www.tes.com/.../worksheets

      These sheets are good to use in class, but also make a great homework. The First Steps and Strengthen sheets are good for one-to-one tutorials and interventions.

      Brilliant, can be used as a whiteboard exercise too.

      Just what I needed! Nice layout. I would love to be able to print them back to back with the correct answer on the back of each one, to laminate and cut up. That would be cool...

      I like this as a practice. :)
