Here's some tasks on CP1's geometric configurations of systems of three linear equations.

I think they're a lot of fun.

(Diagrams taken from a textbook. I can't remember which.)

In #MathsToday (well last few lessons) Year 9 have been looking at expanding and factorising quadratics using grids and by splitting brackets. Made a few Fill in the Blanks activities for them, which can be found at www.draustinmaths.com/algebra
