Go SOLO As91026 Algebra

 

I use SOLO taxonomy   to describe the different levels of thinking in the standards.

The stages in the SOLO taxonomy are increasing in quantity and quality of thought.

Achievement

• Add and subtract like terms
  Multiply and divide terms-
• Review
• Factorise expressions with a common factor (1 bracket)
  Factorise quadratic expressions (2 brackets )
• factorising
• Harder factorising
• Expand with a common term
  Multiply 2 brackets together and simplify my answer
• Expanding
• more expanding
• Find powers of terms
• Simplifying 
• Substitute into formula and find the answer
• Susbtitution into formulae. 
• Solve linear equation
• Solving linear equations
  Solve quadratic equations when they are factorised
• solving Quadratic equations such as (8x + 3)(x - 6) = 0,
• Write a rule, for a linear pattern in words and symbols  linear.
• Write a rule, for a simple quadratic pattern in words and symbol.

Merit

• inequations. such as 5x + 12 = 3 - 2x or3(x - 2) < 7
• Inequations
• Describe a quadratic pattern in words and symbols
•  quadratic patterns
• 
  Simplify algebra expressions including fractions
• Add and subtract fractions.
• Use substitution to generate a pattern from a given rule
• 
  Rearrange formula
• rearranging formulae 
  Solve equations: linear, quadratic, simultaneous
  Solve linear inequations
  x² + 5x – 6 = 0, 3x² = 10x - 8 (completing the square and the quadratic formula are not required)
• Applications
• solving simple equations involving exponents such as x³ = 8, 5x = 125
• solving simultaneous equations with two unknowns.

Excellence

• • Write equations to solve practical problem.
    Write correct mathematical statements
    Write my answer in words that relate to the question
    Present my answer in a logical way
    Use my algebra skills to solve practical problems
    Manipulate complicated algebra expressions
