This resource contains four problems which require students to be able to manipulate algebraic expressions, complete the square, state whether statements are true sometimes, always or never and develop questions which have specific answers.

Designed to improve confidence in mathematics, these resources from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching, focus on algebra and were developed particularly for primary teachers and those non-specialists who teach mathematics in the lower secondary years.

Each section offers an overview of a...

Students are presented with a 3 by 3 grid and a series of cards each containing an algebraic statement. Students are required to place the cards on the grid in such a fashion that each row, each column and each diagonal add to give the magic 'number' of 12a + 15b.

Students are then challenged to make up...

This resource from SMILE contains twenty activities focusing on algebra. The activities address different aspects of algebra and are appropriate for a range of learning styles and abilities. The activities in order of difficulty are:

Mapping jigsaws - laws of arithmetic and inverse...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Algebra: brackets covers: expansion of single brackets, solving linear equations with brackets, finding common factors leading to simple factorisation and expansion of two...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Algebra: linear equations covers fundamental algebraic skills such as substituting numbers in expressions, the use of function machines and solving simple linear equations. The initial...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to give practice in substitution values into expressions containing either one or two variables. Positive or negative values may be selected.

This excel file contains a series of sheets which generate different types of equations involving algebraic fractions. The different types include denominators which are single term, linear and quadratic expressions. The quadratic expressions all have 1 as the...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Algebraic expressions (exposing and discussing common misconceptions)
• Multiplying out brackets (using rich collaborative tasks)...
