Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 to model real-world situations with linear formulas.
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 will play a game called Variable Values.
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.
