MARS: algebra: expressions
This collection features eight resources on the topic of expressions.
The resources feature:
- Concept development lessons that focus on developing conceptual understanding of significant mathematical ideas.
- Problem solving lessons that focus on the application of previously learned mathematics to non-routine unstructured problems.
- Tasks that provide mathematically rich problems that come with work for students to peer assess.
The Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) is a collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley and the Shell Centre team at the University of Nottingham, with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The team is known around the world for its innovative work in maths education.

Interpreting algebraic expressions
This resource develops the concept of interpreting algebraic expressions, translating between words, symbols, tables and area representations.
Students work on tasks that require them to recognise the order of algebraic operations, recognise equivalent expressions, and understand distributive laws of...
Sorting equations and identities
This resource looks at the concept of recognising the differences between equations and identities. Students substitute numbers into algebraic statements in order to test their validity. Common errors are highlighted that can occur when manipulating expressions.
Students work on an exercise that involves...
