Solving Multi-Step Equations
6 lessons, about 15 days with the quiz, review and test, in one download: Variables on Both Sides, Multi-Step Equations, Equations with Rational Coefficients, One, None or Infinitely Many Solutions, Writing & Solving Equations from Word Problems, When Will They Be Equal?.
6 lessons, in teaching order
Built to 8.EE.C.7b, 8.EE.C.7a. Each lesson has guided notes, practice, an exit ticket, a homework page, worked answer keys and a click-by-click Teacher Deck.
- Lesson 1 Variables on Both Sides I can solve linear equations with an x-term on each side by collecting the x-terms on one side, undoing the number, dividing and checking in the given equation.
- Lesson 2 Multi-Step Equations Free on TPT I can solve linear equations by distributing, combining like terms on each side, collecting the x-terms on one side and checking the solution in the first equation.
- Lesson 3 Equations with Rational Coefficients I can solve linear equations with fraction or decimal coefficients, even with x on both sides or ( ) to distribute, by multiplying every term by the least common denominator or by 10 or 100 first.
- Lesson 4 One, None or Infinitely Many Solutions I can simplify both sides of a linear equation, tell how many solutions it has, and write an equation of each kind.
- Lesson 5 Writing & Solving Equations from Word Problems I can name a variable, translate a word problem into a linear equation one phrase at a time, solve it, and check the answer in the story.
- Lesson 6 When Will They Be Equal? I can write two amounts that grow or shrink at steady rates as expressions of the time, set them equal, solve, and answer in the story with the time and the amounts then.
