Prepare children for their lesson on algebra with this Year 6 Find Pairs of Values 1 Prior Learning worksheet. This resource includes three varied fluency questions, two problem-solving questions and one reasoning question in a ready-to-complete format. All the questions are based on objectives covered earlier on in the year and are based on the skill of substitution, which provides an essential stepping stone for this lesson.

We'd recommend using this at the start of your lesson to gauge children's understanding of the concept before moving onto the main teaching. Alternatively, this could be used as a challenge activity, or as part of an intervention group to offer additional support in these tricky skills. With endless options, the choice is yours! To encourage peer or self-assessment, an easy-to-follow answer sheet is provided, or use this to whizz through your marking pile!
