Editor's Notes
Get the students to fill in the boxes to make sure the criteria from each box is met. Talk about the answers and why they may have different answers and that the different answers may be correct.
Ideally this slide could be printed out and students can stick in their books and fill in the new operation column. Discuss as a class and make sure the students know the mathematical symbols that go with the words
Answers
As a class have a discussion as to what you think each of the letters in the examples equal. This is a great activity to do with mini white-boards. Once the class are confident with what they are doing get them to complete Q1.
Get the students to self or peer assess. They need to mark each question individually and then once marked they need to write the level that they are working at as well as drawing a face to show how they found the activity.
To check progress of the class, mark the task completed and then ask the students to rate how they found the activity, Green = confident, Yellow = OK, Red = Unconfident/don’t get it. Ask the students to draw the corresponding face next to their work so when marking you can see how the students found the task.

I have used the cover up method here to show how to solve the equations, feel free to use the elimination method if you prefer.

This is a level 5 extension activity and it is important that students are happy with solving one terms before they move onto these questions.

Get the students to answer all as many of the questions as they can, to show you what they have learned. Ideally to be done on whiteboards, but could be done in their books and then hands up to show which they have got correct
Answers for if students have done the questions in their books.
Students choose 1 box to put in their book and complete. Get the class to share what they have written.
