@HawesMaths Definitely balancing. The function machine approach is useful for highlighting the order to carry out the inverse operations but the RH method is basically balancing but with the added complication of subtracting the negative term correctly.
Completely agree. I didn’t realise departments did this. How demoralising for the students and what a waste of an opportunity to assess them on topics they have actually studied.
Warm up/revision grid for A Level Maths paper 1 (AQA)
The plan is to create one for paper 2 and 3 after each exam, based on what hasn't come up yet - will share those once they're ready 🙂
Feel free to adapt/change questions for your own students.
