Summary

In this final unit of the series, student explore the most complex aspects of algebra on the specification.  Lessons 1 and 2 investigate algebraic fractions and their manipulation using the four rules.  Simplifying algebraic fractions by factorising first is tackled and problems are set up and solved which involve algebraic fractions leading to quadratic equations.  In lessons 4 and 5 further algebraic manipulation is used to change the subject of a formula in increasingly complex contexts. The final lesson of the unit explores the rigour, structure and level of explanation required to make a mathematical argument.

We’ve invested in the PG Online resources for both KS3 and 4 for years now, and couldn’t be happier, great lessons, happy students, happy teachers.

PG Online resources are very well planned and easy to use. Inspection copies are also useful as this enables me to make better choices with our limited budgets.
