Support (from Y7 teaching programme) • Construct and solve simple linear equations with integer coefficients (unknown on one side only) using an appropriate method (e.g. inverse operations)
Core (from Y8 teaching programme) • Begin to distinguish the different roles played by letter symbols in equations, formulae and functions; know the meanings of the words formula and function. • Construct & solve linear equations with integer coefficients (unknown on either or both sides) using appropriate methods (e.g. inverse operations, transforming both sides in the same way) • Identify the necessary information to solve a problem; represent problems and interpret solutions in algebraic or graphical form
. Extension (from Y9 teaching programme) • Construct and solve linear equations with integer coefficients (with and without brackets, negative signs anywhere in the equation, positive or negative solution), using an appropriate method
