Produced by the Maths Magic project, Algebra on the Planet Zog! provides teacher inspiration for ‘clock’ or modulo arithmetic. Describing addition modulo six, students are asked to complete an addition table. There then follows a number of rich, searching questions asking students to extend their knowledge...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Algebra: brackets covers: expansion of single brackets, solving linear equations with brackets, finding common factors leading to simple factorisation and expansion of two...

This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains nine resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Algebra: Expressing Relationships'. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Algebra: linear equations covers fundamental algebraic skills such as substituting numbers in expressions, the use of function machines and solving simple linear equations. The initial...

This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to give practice in substitution values into expressions containing either one or two variables. Positive or negative values may be selected.

This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains seventeen resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Algebra: Using Equations and Functions’. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-...

This excel file contains a series of sheets which generate different types of equations involving algebraic fractions. The different types include denominators which are single term, linear and quadratic expressions. The quadratic expressions all have 1 as the...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Algebraic expressions (exposing and discussing common misconceptions)
• Multiplying out brackets (using rich collaborative tasks)...

This excel file contains a series of sheets which generate terms involving algebraic fractions which need to be combined and simplified. The different types include denominators which are single term, linear and quadratic expressions.

This interactive file shows how cubic polynomials can be divided by linear factors. The first four interactive sheets generate cubic expressions and the steps in the algebraic long division method can be gradually revealed. The constant term in the cubic can be altered...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Algebraic manipulation covers: the difference between equations, formulae and identities, solving equations, using formulae and testing for identities. The topic continues by...

This SMILE resource contains three packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of algebraic structure, from forming simple formulae to changing the subject of a formula.

Algebraic structure pack one contains nine work cards with a...

From a more mathematical perspective this time, this document covers the derivation of algorithm complexity. It could be used in the classroom as extension reading  or as a homework. 

Abstraction is the representation of essential features without including unnecessary details.  It is used to reduce the complexity of systems for users, hiding how things actually work, applying algorithms to different contexts and producing suitable user interfaces.  The first video explains the concept at a...
