Find possible values in missing number problems involving one or two unknowns [A1, A4]

The CanDoSATs KS2 resource from Buzzard Publishing provides a series of mathematical challenges aimed at helping Year 6 students find possible values in missing number problems involving one or two unknowns. These problems are designed to enhance students' understanding of algebraic concepts and numerical relationships. The exercises include equations where students must deduce the value of a missing number represented by symbols such as "l" and "#." The tasks range from simple operations to more complex equations that require students to apply formulas and critical thinking to solve for the unknowns.

For example, students might encounter problems where they have to square a number to find the value of "l," or use multiplication and division to solve for "#." These problems are not only about finding the correct value but also understanding the underlying principles, such as the relationship between the area of a rectangle and a right-angled triangle, and how to apply a formula to calculate these areas. The resource includes various representations and formats, such as equations and word problems, to cater to different learning styles and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concepts being taught.
