
Introduction to basic algebra, symbols and think of a no. etc
True or false?
Main Activity

Solving Ax = B & A  B type equations


Plenary
Using
‘thinkers –
ATM’
HW
x

Solving x  C = B type equations
Solving Ax  C = B type questions
3x  6  9
3x  6  6  3
After using LS(3b)B, teach
3x  3
x 1
Solving Ax  C = Dx  B


Easy hard
Give me some easy questions, give me some hard!!
 Peculiar
 Comparing contrasting 3
 Open questioning eg ‘Give me a question that has the answer x
= 3, x = ¾ x = 0.6’ – students to choose
Produce an easy and a hard question, complete with solution, ready
for your partner to solve as a lesson starter next lesson
