I will definitely try to use simple, practical steps in teaching solving equations, without complicating the process with algebraic terms which causes the students to switch off immediately. I really like the scaffolding idea.

Doha Adra
Great stuff! Could use this method across all math abilities. It’ll give students a learning experience they’ll never forget!

Kasturi Murugavel
I'm keen to teach to a need - it's not against the rules to use your intuition when you can, and use it to propel students towards the algebraic method.

Kerryn Warburton
Thanks for providing the impetus and encouragement to try a new approach. I look forward to teaching the rest of the topic with my students and seeing their understanding develop.

Iris Bramley
My plan is to do a recap on equations during week 1 and see how they progress. Thanks for the scaffold idea - its a common question ‘I don’t know where to start’

Charlene Coates
Thanks Richard for sharing this with us. I’m looking forward to trying this approach when I next teach this unit, particularly with my lower ability classes. Seeing the light bulb moment with students is awesome and keeps us teaching right?
