We have broken down our revision guides into the following guides:

  • KS3 Maths (Geometry and Measures)
  • KS3 Maths (Working with Algebra)
  • KS3 Maths (Practice Papers – Foundation)
  • KS3 Maths (Practice Papers – Higher)

The guide ‘Working with Algebra’ focuses entirely on this mathematical area. It teaches your child how to work with formulas, equations, expressions, patterns and sequences.

Below is a breakdown of how algebra is commonly assessed during Key Stage 3:

Below are 12 rectangular boxes. Each of which contains an equation.

There are four possible answer choices. Each answer choice is assigned with a colour.

For each equation, colour in the rectangle box, based on the colour choice of the answer.

The balance bar is balancing exactly. Using the equation, work out the value of y.

Solve the equation:

8y – 1 = 6y – 5

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1

  1. a) true
  2. b) false
  3. c) false

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2


ANSWER TO QUESTION 3

y = 6

  • 9y (+4) = 50 (+4)
  • 9y = 50 (+4)
  • 9y = 54
  • 54 ÷ 9 = 6
  • y = 6

ANSWER TO QUESTION 4

y = -2

  • 8y = 6y – 5 + 1
  • 8y = 6y – 4
  • 2y = -4
  • y = -2

 

All it takes is a little bit of time and practice!
