Teach algebraic terminology clearly and accurately with this complete, standalone Year 7 Core PowerPoint lesson.

Pupils learn to identify and describe terms, variables, coefficients and constants, then distinguish expressions, equations and inequalities. The lesson explicitly tackles the misconception that a minus sign is a separate term and reinforces that signs remain attached.

The structured lesson includes:
• six-question retrieval starter with answers
• pupil-friendly vocabulary and representations
• three matched I Do–We Do modelling pairs
• exactly 12 progressive mini-whiteboard questions with immediate answers
• 24-question minimally different practice
• Developing, Secure and genuine Greater Depth tasks
• a sustained Super Challenge with full solution
• misconception diagnosis and problem solving
• exam-style questions with mark guidance
• exit questions and answers

Designed for whole-class display, the slides use large classroom-readable text, compact headers and bracketed numbering. Every question and answer has been mathematically checked.
