We are beginning a new unit of work.
Glue the Learning Journey into your book. Do not cut it out, it will fit onto a page.
Answer the self assessment questions.

2. Each time you learn a new skill write the date in the box above the learning journey.
This will help you to track the progress that you are making.

Solving Equations
I am beginning to understand the role of the = sign
I can find missing numbers.
I can construct and solve linear equations with unknowns on one side including negative numbers.
I can construct and solve linear equations with unknowns on both sides including with negative numbers and brackets.
I can construct and solve simultaneous equations.

3. Solve these simultaneous equations using an algebraic method:
True or false? =
How do you know?
Solve these equations
3y - 4 = 11
Y - 6 = 2 2
Solve
3c – 7 = 2c + 3
Solve these simultaneous equations using an algebraic method:
3a + 2b = 16
5a - b=18
I can construct and solve linear equations with unknowns on one side including negative numbers.
I am beginning to understand the role of the = sign
I can find missing numbers.
I can construct and solve linear equations with unknowns on both sides, including negative numbers and brackets.
I can construct and solve simultaneous equations.

4. Which one is the odd one out? Why?

Which one is the odd one out? Why?
6t + 4 = 22
3t + 3t + 4 = 22
4t + 5t = 22 - t
t + t + t + t + t + t + 4 = 22
2(3t + 2) = 22
8t = t

5. How can we use equivalent expressions to solve equations?
10 + 4 =
10 + t = 14
10 + t =
t = 4
Ask pupils to suggest equivalent expressions on mini whiteboards before revealing the answers.

6. How can we use equivalent expressions to solve equations?
t + t + 5
5 + 12 =
2t + 5 = 17
t + t + 5 =
t + t = 12
t = 6

7. How can we use equivalent expressions to solve equations?
3t + 6 = t + 16
t + t + t + 6 = t
t + t + 6 =
t + t = 10
t = 5

8. Today’s Task
Choose a set of equations, remember to choose the set that will move your learning on.

9. I am beginning to understand the role of the = sign
Which of these are true and which are false?
1) = ) =
3) = ) =
5) – 3 = 3 – ) 20 – 7 = 16 – 3
7) = 15 – 4
I can find missing numbers.

10. I can solve linear equations with unknowns on one side.
1) 3y + 1 = ) 2y + 8 = ) 4y + 5 = 85
4) 7y + 2 = ) 11y + 3 = ) 6s + 4 = 22
7) y = ) 22t + 5 = ) 10g + 2 = 42
I can solve linear equations with unknowns on both sides.
1) 4y + 3 = 2y ) 5y + 7 = 3y + 11
3) 9y + 7 = 15y ) 8y + 3 = 2y + 21
5) 6y + 4 = 3y ) 8 (x + 1) = 2( x + 16)
7) 7(x + 4) = 10 ( x + 1)

11. 2t - 6 = 13 3t - 4 = t + 6 Plenary Think / Pair / Share
Can you use the same method to solve these equations?
Explain your answer.
2t - 6 = 13
3t - 4 = t + 6

12. Colour in the person that represents your mindset in today’s lesson.

13. Progress Pyramid One question I would like answered…
Two things I am not sure about yet….
Three things I understand well enough to explain to someone else…

14. Colour in the arrow, up to the statement which best describes your current understanding.
I’m so confident - I could explain this to someone else!
I can get to the right answer but I don’t understand well enough to explain it yet.
I understand some of this but I don’t understand all of it yet.
I tried hard and I listened but I am finding this challenging. I will make sure that I get help with this next lesson.
I do not understand any of this yet. There are things I could do to be a better learner next lesson.
