Differentiated PowerPoint slides on linear equations for Year/Grade 6-10. Each deck moves from one-step solving through brackets, variables on both sides, graphing, and systems of equations, with worked examples and student practice built in.

Each deck steps through worked examples for one-step and two-step solving, equations with brackets, and variables on both sides. Animated reveals let you pause, ask the class to predict the next step, then reveal it together.


Slides take students from plotting a few points to drawing a full line and reading gradient and y-intercept off the equation. Practice questions move from y = mx + c with whole-number values up to fractional gradients and negative intercepts.
Real-context tasks ask students to form an equation from a worded scenario and solve it, then extend into systems of two equations solved by substitution and elimination. Answers and full working sit on the teacher slide.

Practice sets are split into core and stretch, so you can set the same slide deck to a mixed-ability class without separate handouts. Every question has its full solution available on the corresponding teacher slide.
Each method gets a worked example, a guided we-do slide, and a you-do slide with answers underneath. Students can self-check as they go and you can move the strongest ones onto challenge questions early.
End-of-topic assessment slides cover solving, graphing, and forming equations from context. Use them as a low-stakes exit ticket or convert them into a printable check-for-understanding in two clicks.

Introducing Linear Equations and the Coordinate Plane
The opening slides define what makes an equation linear, introduce x, y, gradient and intercept, and walk through plotting solutions on the coordinate plane. Worked examples move from y = 2x + 1 to negative gradients and fractional values, with checkpoint questions for students to try on whiteboards before the answer is revealed.
Solving Linear Equations Step by Step
The solving sequence builds in the order students need it: one-step inverse operations, two-step equations, equations with brackets, and finally variables on both sides. Each method gets a worked example slide, a we-do slide, and a you-do slide with answers underneath for self-checking.
Word Problems and Systems of Equations
The final section turns worded scenarios into equations students can solve, then extends into pairs of equations solved by substitution and elimination. Contexts include phone-plan comparisons, ticket pricing, and distance-time problems, with the working shown on the teacher slide.
