Description

In this unit pupils will learn how to find a value that satisfies a linear relationship when one value is known both with a single step operation, and multiple step operations. A variety of cases are explored including using brackets and rearranging.

Further to graphing linear sequences in the previous unit, pupils now learn to connect understanding with solving linear equations after demonstrating how for each point on a linear graph there is a unique solution to the equation of the line.
