A ready-to-teach Year 7 Algebraic Notation PowerPoint: 9 topics, each with an introduction, a worked example and 6 questions with answers. Use it for a week of lessons, as lesson starters or for revision. No planning needed.

Save hours of planning. Open it and teach.

This PowerPoint covers Algebraic Notation for Year 7 in 152 clickable slides. Every topic follows the same clear structure, so pupils always know what’s coming:

✔ A title slide that introduces the topic
✔ A short “learn it” slide that explains the key idea, with a visual
✔ A worked example shown step by step
✔ 6 practice questions, each followed by its own answer slide (54 questions in total)
✔ A “How confident do you feel?” check at the end of each topic

THREE WAYS TO USE IT

❶ A week of lessons: it follows Week 8 of a full Year 7 scheme of work. Teach one or two topics a lesson.
❷ Lesson starter / teacher input: use one topic for the first 20 minutes of a lesson. Introduce it, model the worked example, then go through the questions together.
❸ Revision and checking understanding: work through the questions to find gaps quickly before tests. The answer slides come straight after each question.

WHAT’S COVERED

▸ Using letters: Letters for unknown numbers, Algebraic notation, Function machines
▸ Writing expressions: Expressions with + and −, Expressions with × and ÷, Expressions in real life
▸ Using expressions: Expressions for perimeters, From expressions to words, Same or different?

EASY TO MOVE AROUND
Clickable contents pages let you jump straight to any section or topic. On every slide there are “Show answer”, “Next question” and “Contents” buttons, so you never have to hunt for slides in front of the class.

FULLY EDITABLE
This is a standard PowerPoint file, so you can change questions, numbers or wording to suit your class.

PART OF A SERIES
This is the first PowerPoint of the Year 7 Algebra unit, and it is free. It is part of a full Year 7 series of weekly PowerPoints that follow a complete scheme of work and go with the Simon’s Steps revision guides. Every deck is built the same way, so your pupils get the same clear structure every week.
