Interpreting algebraic expressions
This resource develops the concept of interpreting algebraic expressions, translating between words, symbols, tables and area representations.
Students work on tasks that require them to recognise the order of algebraic operations, recognise equivalent expressions, and understand distributive laws of...
Interpreting Algebraic Expressions A1
In this resource from the DfES Standards Unit, students learn to translate between words, symbols, tables, and area representations of algebraic expressions, recognise the order of operations, recognise equivalent expressions and understand the distributive laws of multiplication and division over addition (...
Interpreting and using data: setting taxi fares
This resource develops the concept of using a distance time scatter plot, finding a function that links the variables, and then using the results to decide upon a rate.
The resource is set in the practical context of distances and times a taxi cab takes for 40 journeys. The resulting scatter plot is used to...
