Why this why now

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.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Simplify algebraic expressions
  • Solve linear equations and substitute values
  • Rearrange and manipulate formulas
