Algebra - Find pairs of values (1) - Worksheet

The 'Find Pairs of Values' worksheet is an educational resource that focuses on the application of algebraic principles for Year 6 students. The main objective of this lesson is to use simple formulae, generate and describe linear number sequences, and find pairs of numbers that satisfy equations with two unknowns. To achieve these goals, differentiated sheets and teaching slides are provided as resources. Students are expected to become familiar with vocabulary such as 'algebra', 'possible values', 'integer values', 'variables', and 'systematically'.

During the lesson, children will apply their understanding of substitution to determine possible values for pairs of variables, concentrating on integer values initially. They will learn to find values through trial and improvement and are encouraged to approach the task systematically. The key questions posed to students include whether the variables can be the same or zero, and how many possible integer solutions exist. They will also discuss the relationships between the values of different variables. The worksheet involves completing pairs of values for given equations, with one value provided, and finding all possible pairs that meet certain conditions. This activity is designed to enhance students' fluency and precision in algebra, as well as their reasoning and problem-solving skills.
