I'm sitting here planning new curriculum Maths for the next six weeks.
Has anyone planned the Algebra units yet? There are the 4 objectives, but I am struggling to plan activities for them. The all seem to be 'algebra lite' - getting the children to use skills without actually explaining how the algebra works. There are 2 'algebra' questions in the Sample paper, but one is a 'working backwards' question using inverses and one is a trial and error search for 2 numbers.
I think I'm confused because for the last 3 years I've taught the Level 6 syllabus of explicit algebra skills, which is clearly NOT what is being called for now.
What's everyone else doing?
