Algebra can be great fun outdoors! This activity will introduce simplifying algebraic equations to your children while exploring sticks and leaves found in your outdoor space. They will be given a differentiated task card containing a formula which they must build before simplifying. The 'x' represents sticks and 'y' represents leaves. If the formula reads x + y + x they must order stick, stick, leaf and then write '2x + y' underneath. This pack contains 22 card with 8 challenge cards.
