Description

In this unit, pupils learn about generalisation and formal algebraic manipulation techniques such as substitution, collecting like terms and factorising.

This unit is a natural extension of the number work in the previous units. We are now seeking to generalise patterns and behaviours that were first seen in the number units taught before, and pulling in key skills such as factorisation and multiplication of brackets as part of algebraic manipulation.

  1. Checking understanding of expressions and equations
  2. Securing understanding of expressions and equations
  3. Representing a generalised number
  4. Algebraic notation
  5. Algebraic terminology
  6. Representing an unknown or variable
  7. Generalised algebraic statements
  8. Substituting particular values
  9. Like terms
  10. Simplifying by collecting like terms
  11. Multiplying an expression by a constant
  12. Multiplying an expression by a term
  13. Multiplying and simplifying with multiple expressions
  14. Simplifying before multiplying with multiple expressions
  15. Highest common factor with algebraic terms
  16. Factorising expressions
  17. Problem solving with expressions and equations
