Review BODMAS for numbers with Qs such as:
'Place brackets, where needed, to make these correct,
20 - 2 x 8-3 = 1
20 - 2 x 8-3 = 10
20 - 2 x 8-3 = 141
20 - 2 x 8-3 = 7
OR egs: on p 86
- Understand that algebraic expressions follow the same conventions order as arithmetic operations

Ctd from previous lesson)
See previous lessons
Extend Starter activity to symbols, eg;

'Place brackets, if necessary, to make these correct:
2 x + 1 = 7 (if x=3)
2 x + 1 = 8 (if x=3)

and

other operations, eg:

2a + 3a = 5a
4b - b = 3b
6 x 3c = 18c
14d ÷ 2 = 7d
Activity suggestions:
Written activity that practises correct use of brackets, eg: 'Marking Pupils' Homework'

OR

Algebra: the 4 Rules
Recap all algebraic operations, using questions involving + - x ÷ and ( ).
Eg: 'Place brackets, if necessary, to make these correct:'

5 + 3 ÷ 3 - 4 x 2 = 4
10 - 2 x - 4 - 3 = 3

In a certain rectangle, the length is twice the width; if the width is a, what is :the length?the perimeter?

Extend to length factor x 3, x 4 ...

Perimeter of Shapes: develop Starter on to including 2 variables, eg;
length a & width b
length a & width a+ 1
length a & width a-2
length a & width 2/3a;
1) Develop Introductory idea to problems with given perimeters, eg:
A rectangle has length a & width a+ 1, Perimeter = 18 cm, what is length & width?

2) Extend to other shapes, eg: isosceles triangles, pentagons, regular hexagons...
3 or 4 polygons on OHP / board, perimeter?
Eg:
