Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Preserve equivalence while expanding, factorising, simplifying rational expressions and powers, and substituting signed values.

Curriculum anchor: England KS3 Mathematics: use algebraic notation, simplify and manipulate expressions, substitute values and maintain equivalence.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask the learner to state the algebraic law used at each step and verify by reversing or substituting. Take a break when you need one.
