Carolyn - We put together an inspiration mind map on what we had already done in Equations. I had to get one of my students to do the connections as I was no good at doing it. But we could show the connections between equations and algebra which the students found useful. I think that this will be good to continue with to show the progression of learning and for the end of topic revision.
