Top tips:

  • Remember only group things together if they are the same
  • Look carefully to see if the operation is adding or subtracting
  • When two letters are next to each other it doesn’t matter which way round it is written, for example: 2ab is the same as 2ba.

 

The answers are included on the PowerPoint so you can self-mark.
