Lots of examples on IWB

Use these Sweet Bag Presentations to practice writing algebraic expressions. Sweet Bag1, Sweet Bag 2. 
Use this Presentation to get the idea of solving equations

Use these equations to get students to solve the problems - Cut out each problem, stick it into your book and then write down what number the letter must be for the sum to be true.

PLENARIES: Working with students at tables, marking work, explaingin if there are any difficulties....
