Today I’d like you to produce an algebra guide for Year 5 to use-start from the fact most Year 5 children will have very little knowledge about algebra.

  1. Start with an introduction-what is algebra? Give some examples of what it is? Where is it used in everyday life?
  2. Explain ‘like terms’ and how to collect them-give examples, you could also address misconceptions like 1b
  3. Explain how to solve algebraic equations and give an example
  4. Explain what an algebraic expression is and how to write one

 

Please look back at the previous brilliant work you have done on all of this to help you. You can also look back at the previous tutorials, video clips and PowerPoint if you need to/wish.

Don’t worry if you don’t manage to cover all of this in the hour-just do what you can. Keep your presentation high-aim to be the best you can be. (Article 6) 

 

After the hour, please write your own evaluative comment linked to the success criteria above-like you do in class.
