Solve linear equations one variable in Year 7 Maths
Start here
Focus on solving simple linear equations. Start with “Simplify and Solve Equations with Brackets”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 7 learners practise solving simple linear equations.
The activities include Simplify and Solve Equations with Brackets, Simplify and Solve One-Stage Equations, Solve Simple Equations Involving Addition and Subtraction, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, worksheet, teaching-practice, teaching. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
Activities covered
- Simplify and Solve Equations with Brackets
- Simplify and Solve One-Stage Equations
- Solve Simple Equations Involving Addition and Subtraction
- Solve Simple Equations Involving Decimals
- Solve Simple Equations Involving Multiplication and Division
