Explain The Errors - Algebra 1 - Andy Lutwyche

Explain The Errors – Algebra 1

Free

This gives students a question and four potential answers; they must choose the correct answer and then explain what the three wrong answers have done incorrectly. Topics include simplifying expressions, expanding brackets, factorising expressions and solving equations with the variable on one side. I have purposely only highlighted the correct answer and not suggested what has been done incorrectly with the other solutions so students (and staff) aren’t tainted by my personal thinking and develop their own. I am hoping this will lead to some great mathematical discussions in the classroom.
