Title Date To assess my understanding of Algebraic Expressions 07/12/2018 Starter Activity Complete the ‘Heard the Word Grid.’ Are there any key words that you have learnt or have a better understanding of now than you did at the start of this unit of work?

Expressions and Sequences 5 4 3 2 1 Expressions and Sequences I understand the role of the = sign I can work out the missing number in a box. I can use simple formula expressed in words. I can simplify expressions . I can find equivalent expressions. I can substitute positive values into simple expressions. I can use simple formula. I can substitute positive and negative values into expressions. I understand the meaning of brackets in expressions. I can multiply a single term over a bracket. I can expand linear expressions. I can expand quadratic expressions. Print this slide and the next slide two to a page and give to pupils to glue into their books. These should be printed onto blue paper so that pupils can easily find them in their books. Pupils should be referring to these every lesson.

Answers and working out 1 Question Answers and working out Fluency Write in the boxes what the missing numbers could be. Problem Solving Reasoning True or false, you must explain your answer 20 + 4 = 16 + 8 Example Complete the number pyramids opposite in two different ways by adding the two blocks beneath to make the number in the block above.

2 Question Answer Fluency a + a + b + b + a + b + c + c + c + b Simplify this expression. Problem Solving Write down three expressions that mean the same as (are equivalent to ) 4p + 10 Reasoning True or false, you must explain your answer 4a + 3 = a + 3a + 2 + 1

3 Question Answer Fluency If a = 3 find the value of 2 + 5a Problem Solving Write another expression which has the same value (is equivalent to) Reasoning Explain the difference between 2n + 2 and 2(n + 2)

4 Question Answer Fluency Expand 4(2a – 3) Problem Solving Identify and correct the mistakes 4 ( b + 2 ) = 4b + 2 3 ( p – 4 ) = 3p - 7 Reasoning Write two different expressions for the area of this rectangle. 2a + 4 3

5 Question Answer Fluency Multiply out these brackets and simplify the result: (x + 5)(x + 2) Problem Solving Identify and correct the mistake (x + 5) ( x + 4) = x2 + 9x + 9 Reasoning Explain how I know that (x + 2)2 is not equivalent to x2 + 4
