KS3/ GCSE algebra relating to everyday examples. I wrote this a while ago in a desperate bid to make algebra relate to the real lives of children. You could set up a spreadsheet in Excel and use formulas, or they can do the activity in class.

I can't wait to try this resource out with my students. It's a really nice functional task.

This is a really good idea to make real life functional maths interesting so that pupils can engage with algebra. Most children have mobile phones so can relate with this, they have to work out which tariff is the best value. The worksheet comes with all the instructions so pupils just have to concentrate on the calculations. Could be used as a paired/grouped task too.
