WORKSHEET OF THE WEEK

For this week’s free worksheet, I am sharing a brand new Solving Equations resource with you. This two page Solving Equations With Unknown on Both Sides Worksheet is suitable for your Year 8, Year 9 and Year 10 students.

Algebra tiles can enhance understanding and proficiency in algebra; making abstract concepts more accessible and encouraging a deeper understanding of algebra. Throughout this worksheet, students will use algebra tiles to solve equations with unknowns on both sides.

Section A consists of an example and 7 minimally different questions. Algebra tiles are already shown for each equation. There are 8 further equations to solve in section B, this time pupils are required to draw the algebra tiles themselves.

Equations involve the three operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication. Solutions to all equations are integers including some negative values. Learners are encouraged to write out the equation and operations alongside drawing the tiles throughout. If available, physical tiles could also be used.

Please download, share, and use this worksheet with your students or home learners.
