Ready-to-teach PowerPoint slides for the full equations strand — from one-step and two-step equations in middle school through linear, quadratic and simultaneous equations in early secondary. Edit any slide, switch the worked examples, and adjust the difficulty without rebuilding the deck.

Each deck moves from a clear visual model of the equation to step-by-step worked examples and then to practice questions students can attempt independently. Difficulty scales across the slides so the same lesson works for students who need more scaffolding and students who are ready to extend.


Slides include balanced-equation diagrams, bar models and algebra-tile visuals for solving linear and quadratic equations. Students see what is happening on both sides of the equals sign before they move to symbolic manipulation, which makes inverse operations and the balance method easier to retain.
Every deck comes with practice slides that walk students through solving a range of equation types. Worked examples appear first, followed by guided practice and then independent questions, so you can run a whole lesson without leaving the slide deck.

Practice question slides give students multiple equations to solve at each difficulty level, with answers on the next slide so you can check as a class or set them for independent work. Edit any question to match the numbers in your textbook.
Worked examples cover one-step, two-step, multi-step linear equations, equations with variables on both sides, simultaneous equations and quadratic equations. Each example is broken into the steps students need to write in their own work.
Assessment slides at the end of each deck check whether students can apply the method to unfamiliar problems, including word problems that ask students to set up the equation before solving it.

Understanding Different Types of Equations
Slides introduce one-step and two-step equations first, then build to multi-step linear equations, equations with variables on both sides, simultaneous equations and quadratic equations. Each type has its own visual model so students can see how the structure of the equation changes what they need to do to solve it.
Solving Linear Equations with Examples
Linear equation slides walk students through isolating the variable using inverse operations and the balance method. Worked examples show every step explicitly — what you do to one side, you do to the other — followed by practice questions that gradually remove the scaffolding so students can work independently by the end of the lesson.
Strategies for Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations
Quadratic slides cover factorising, the quadratic formula and completing the square, with a worked example for each method and guidance on which method to choose for which equation. Simultaneous equation slides cover both substitution and elimination, with side-by-side comparisons so students can see which method is faster for a given pair of equations.
