It was quite a journey. Everyone made it home safe though. And they had fun with the maths on the way.

Key Stage 3: Linear Equations Scheme of work: Key Stage 3: Year 8: Term 6: Linear Equations Prerequisite Knowledge The concept of an unknown and how it’s represented algebraically (e.g. n - 7 = 16). Forming and solving simple linear equations with the unknown on one side, using inverse operations. Simplifying expressions by collecting like terms and multiplying a single term over a bracket. Using the equals sign correctly and understanding its meaning in maintaining balance in equations.
