Lesson 1: Identifying fractions
Students will review how to identify fractions and locate them on a number line. You could use this lesson as a pre-assessment or move on to the next lesson, which dives straight into creating equivalent fractions. Students will go on a fraction hunt in the class to find and identify fractions.
Lesson 9: Algebra Assessment
This is a summative assessment that covers the key objectives from the algebra unit.
Lesson 8: Solve formulae with two unknowns
In this lesson, students will solve equations with 2 unknowns. They will use inverse operations, bar models, problem-solving skills and substitutions to determine variables. This lesson will utilise all their knowledge from this unit and help to develop their flexible thinking skills. Students will solve a code cracker.
Lesson 7: Finding value pairs
In this lesson students will explore determining pairs of values that satisfy given equations and parameters. They will work with tables to identify and verify pairs that produce the desired results. This exercise will help students to understand how input values correspond to output values, enhancing their grasp of functional relationships and algebraic reasoning. They […]
Lesson 6: Creating formulae from linear patterns
Students will create formulae from linear patterns, by exploring how to derive algebraic expressions that describe the relationship between variables in a linear context. They will identify patterns in given data sets and use these patterns to formulate linear equations that represent the relationship between the variables. By practicing this process, students develop the ability […]
Lesson 5: Introduction to applying formulae
Students will explore and solve formulae that represent linear pattern sequences. This is a foundational skill to solve for any variable within a formula, enhancing problem-solving capabilities across various contexts.
Lesson 4: Solving equations
In this lesson, students will solve equations using substitutions. This is a foundational step towards solving equations with unknowns. They will find the value of different types of monsters.
Lesson 3: Forming expressions
In a lesson, students will translate real-world scenarios involving unknown quantities into algebraic expressions. They will practice identifying variables to represent the unknown amounts and formulate expressions to model the relationships described in the scenarios. Through this exercise, student will enhance their ability to abstractly represent and solve problems using algebra.
Lesson 2: Solving 2-step input/output functions
Students will practice solving problems by passing inputs through a sequence of two operations. Students may also find the inputs, when given only the outputs using inverse operations and problem-solving skills. Students will develop a deeper understanding of sequential operations and problem-solving by exploring 2-step function machines.
Lesson 1: Exploring input and outputs
Students will explore finding and using rules with input and output data pairs. They will identify patterns in the input and output values, which will help them discover of a consistent rule governing the function. Students will also apply rules and calculate the outputs for new inputs. They will play a game called What’s The […]
