Three worksheets on rearranging formulas and literal equations.

Some of the equations in the exercises involve fractions, brackets, square or cube roots or the variable to solve for on both sides.

The students have to multiply or divide both sides of the given equation by a number or variable, move terms from the one side of the equation to the other, multiply out a bracket that contains the variable to become the subject, and take the square or cube root of both sides of the equation.

Detailed solutions to all worksheets are included.

Are your students struggling to change the subject of a formula when equations are full of letters instead of numbers? Take the frustration out of literal equations with this comprehensive, 3-resource worksheet bundle designed to build confidence and mastery!

This ready-to-print bundle moves students seamlessly from basic one-step rearrangements to complex, multi-step formulae involving square roots, fractions, and brackets. It is the perfect addition to your KS3 and KS4 algebra toolkit, GCSE maths preparation, or secondary physics maths review!

What’s Included in This Bundle:

  • Guided Examples & Practice Pages: Introduces the core concepts of rearranging formulae with clear, step-by-step visual examples (like rectangle perimeter and trapezium area formulas).
  • Comprehensive Exercise Sets: Over 35 carefully organized problems ranging from simple linear isolation to multi-variable distributions.
  • Match-Up Activity Worksheets: An engaging matching exercise where students pair original formulas with their correct equivalent arrangements.
  • Complete Step-by-Step Answer Keys: Fully worked-out solutions for every single problem to make marking quick and easy or to allow for student self-checking.

Curriculum Alignment:

  • GCSE Maths (Foundation & Higher): Rearrange formulae to change the subject, including cases where the subject appears twice or power/root terms are involved.
  • Key Stage 3 & 4 National Curriculum: Substitute numerical values into formulae and expressions, and change the subject of a formula using inverse operations.
    Perfect For:
  • KS3 Advanced Maths & KS4 Core GCSE Lessons
  • High School Physics / Chemistry Maths Review
  • Homework Assignments, Cover Lessons, or Independent Study
  • Revision, Assessment Prep, and Intervention Groups
