Three worksheets on rearranging formulae to change the subject. Detailed solutions are provided.

A complete, fully scaffolded resource packet featuring targeted algebraic practice questions to build total confidence in rearranging formulae and changing the subject. Complete with a detailed, step-by-step worked answers key, this printable pack is ideal for KS3 Maths, GCSE Foundation & Higher revision, A-Level bridging, or cover lessons!

Save hours of lesson planning with this ready-to-print resource designed to teach, practice, and master rearranging formulae!
This resource breaks down equation manipulation into clear, manageable steps. It scaffolds beautifully from basic one-step isolation to advanced multi-step rearrangements involving brackets, algebraic fractions, indices, roots, and factorising out the target variable. It is fully aligned with the KS3, GCSE, and IGCSE National Curriculum specifications for algebra.

What is Included in This Pack?

• Scaffolded Practice Questions: Problems move intentionally from simple 1-step balance rules to advanced structural rearrangements.
• Comprehensive Formula Variety: Students practice changing the subject with equations involving addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, brackets, squares, and square roots.
• Advanced Factorising Challenges: Includes complex questions where the target variable appears multiple times or on both sides of the equals sign, requiring factorisation.
• Complete Step-by-Step Answer Booklet: Fully worked solutions showing every line of working out, making it effortless for students to self-assess or for cover teachers to follow along.

Perfect For:

• Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8, and 9): Developing core algebraic fluency and balancing skills.
• GCSE Foundation & Higher Revision (Years 10 and 11): Vital exam retrieval practice and fluency retention.
• AS-Level / A-Level Bridging: Remediating algebraic manipulation skills for incoming upper secondary students.
• Homework, Starters, or Extension Work: Easy to set, print, and track.
• Emergency Cover Lessons: Completely self-explanatory layout requires no prior teaching input on the day.
