with the class.Extension.

Can you find the best combinationof tractor and plough?

So what have we learnt?

Letters can be used to represent variables.

On your Mini Whiteboards…

1.If x = 2 what is x + 2?2.If y = 3 what is y – 2?3.If p = 38 and q = 17 what is p + q?4.If r = 12 and z = 27 what is r – z?5.If s = 15, t = 2 and x = 5 what is s + t – x ?

NC level 5A

On your Mini Whiteboards…

X=1, Y=2, Z=7, R=12, S=25

1. 2X = 2. 3R =3. 2R + 5Z =4. 3Z + 2Y – 2X =

IF

On you Mini Whiteboards…If X=3, Y=6, Z=12, R=25, S=5 solve these...

Now try these in your books…
