Description of  Algebra 1: Equations and Formulae for KS2 (Maths Is Not A Mystery)

For children to really succeed in the KS2 SATs, they need confidence in their own ability and they need to be able to talk about their work with adults. Many adults are a little nervous about teaching their children 'the wrong way' in maths because they have heard that the subject is taught differently today. The Primary Maths Is Not A Mystery series is a set of books that show adults how maths is taught, giving the adult a chance to discuss confidently and work with their child. The work progresses in gentle steps and their is lots of opportunity to practice and to see in detail how the answers to questions have been worked out. In this book we look at aspects of Algebra for KS2. Algebra is a vitally important part of mathematical understanding and this early work sets pupils up for working with the basic principles of the topic, which can then be steadily developed as they progress through school. We cover equations and formulae in this book - learning how to solve simple equations and how to substitute values into a formula.
