Year 9
These resources will be removed by end of Summer Term 2025.
Switch to our new teaching resources now - designed by teachers and leading subject experts, and tested in classrooms.
These resources were created for remote use during the pandemic and are not designed for classroom teaching.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- In this lesson, we will learn to identify points of intersection from linear equations as a precursor to solving simultaneous equations graphically.
