Lesson 10 – Number - Find Pairs of Values (2) - Enumerate possibilities

NC Objective:
Resources needed: Vocabulary:
Use simple formulae.
Generate and describe linear number sequences.
Differentiated Sheets Enumerate possibilities, possible
Enumerate possibilities of combinations of two Teaching Slides solutions, multiples, variables, strategy
variables.
Building on from the last step, children find possible solutions to equations which involve multiples of one
or more unknowns.
They should be encouraged to try one number for one of the variables first and then work out the
corresponding value of the other variable. Children should then work systematically to test if there are
other possible solutions that meet the given conditions.
Key Questions:
What does 2a mean? (2 multiplied by an unknown number) What is the greatest/smallest number ‘a’ can be?
What strategy did you use to find the value of ‘b’? Can you draw a bar model to represent the following
equations: 3f + g = 20 and 7a + 3b = 40. What could the letters represent?
