Year 9 Equations
Developing algebraic thinking from number properties used in mental
calculations.
Word Problems
• Bill has $6. His mum gives him some more money. Now he has $13. How much did his mum give him?
6 + = 13 = ?
More problems

+ 25 = 43 = ?
• Jerry has some sheep. He buys 38 more. He now has 92. How many did he have at the start?
+ 38 = 92 = ?

• Laura thinks of a number. When she multiplies it by 2 and adds 7, she gets 18.What was her number?
• Problem
×2 +7 = 18
• Box Diagram
718
• Solution
= ?
Problem
• The three shapes contain three different numbers.
+ + 7 = + 18
• Fill in the shapes with numbers that make the statement true.
Problem 2
• Find one number that can be put in all 3 boxes to make the statement true.
+ + 7 = + 18
• Box diagram 718
Algebraic symbolism
• The previous problem can be represented using algebraic symbolism as:-
X + X + 7 = X + 18
X + 7 = 18
X = 11
+ 7 = +18
Can you solve these?
• 7x = 2x + 20• 9x = 5x + 24• 6x = 3x + 6• 13x = 9x + 28• 7x = 6x + 18• 13x = 3x + 40• 14x = 36 + 11x
• 7x = 2x + 20
= + 20
Adding like terms
An open ended approach
Exploring for patterns
• What is a quick way of calculating:-97×53 + 3×53 ?
What about 97×42 + 3×42 ?
And how about 6×37 + 4×37 ?
What patterns did you see?Can you make up some similar problems yourself?
Combining terms
• What is a quick way of calculating2×3 + 15×4 + 8×3 - 5×4 ?
What about 3×4 + 13×7 + 7×4 - 3×7 ?
And 72×3 + 23×4 + 28×3 - 13×4 ?
