Year 8 Maths Lesson 4: Algebra Charts

Use the following worksheet to conduct the class:

Algebra Charts

Use the Maths 300 software, Algebra Charts, to obtain the top scores from the students.

If students complete this, and the extension, direct them to bit.ly/algebraquiz. They won't understand all the work, but they'll have fun trying to find which questions they can answer.

Year 7 Maths Lesson 2: Algebra - Continued

Learning Objectives:
Introduction to algebra (continued)

Introduction:
Talk on expectations:
I wasn't happy with how things went last lesson.
I expect no discussion, outside of the task at hand, but I'd prefer if you asked me any questions you have.
We didn't get enough work done, and this is a very important topic.
I expect nobody to ask a question without putting up their hand.
Formulae:
What is a formula? (A way of mathematically writing a statement or rule)

Convert into a formula:
"Multiply each IN number by 10, then add 2"
"Add 14 then divide by 2"
"Add 12 to the IN number. This equals 3 IN numbers."
