Welcome, Code Cracker!
Algebra is like a secret code for solving maths puzzles! This quiz will help you practise finding missing numbers, following patterns, and using letters to represent numbers. Choose your level and get ready to think like a detective!
You may need a pencil and paper for your workings.
What's in the Quiz?
- Working Towards: Spotting simple patterns and finding missing numbers in sums.
- Expected Standard: Solving one-step equations (like a + 5 = 12) and using rules to create sequences.
- at Greater Depth: Tackling two-step equations (like 2x - 3 = 7) and turning word problems into expressions.
- Grammar School Entry: Solving tricky equations, including ones with unknowns on both sides.
Advice for Success
- Remember to use the inverse (opposite) operation to find missing numbers. The opposite of add is subtract, and the opposite of multiply is divide.
- Think of an equation like a balancing scale. Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other to keep it balanced.
- Read word problems carefully to figure out what the unknown number is and how the other numbers relate to it.
