Deepen understanding of algebra word problems by using this resource.

This Year 6 Algebra Word Problems Reasoning and Problem Solving worksheet will help children apply their learning from the algebra block to a range of word problems and help familiarise them with how algebra may be explored in tests such as SATs. They will reason why a real-life situation is not possible using algebra, use an expression to apply numbers in a real-life context and finally enumerate possibilities that satisfy a real-life situation. All answers are given so that marking is as simple as possible!

A varied fluency resource is also available for this small step.
