What assumptions are made in order to solve equations? An instructional slideshow provides an overview and guided examples of how properties of equality can be used to justify each step in solving equations.

No need to justify using this resource. Learners drag justifications for each step of solving an equation in an interactive. To see if they are correct, all they need to do is use a slider and the correct answers appear.

Solving an equation is the art of creating simpler equivalent equations using properties of equality. Here, classes see that solving an equation is not always as easy as guessing. The activity presents linear equations that scholars must...

June 19 is now a United States federal holiday. Young historians examine the background of the first Juneteenth celebrations and why on June 15, 2021, Congress finally approved "Juneteenth National Independence Day" as a federal holiday.

Use a tape diagram to emulate the steps of solving equations. The 23rd installment in a 25-part unit presents two-step linear equation problems to solve. Pupils use tape diagrams to solve the problems along with linear equations. To...

Pairs with the same sum of integer cards verify the addition and subtraction properties of equality by adding and subtracting like cards to each hand. They also justify the multiplication and division properties of equality using...

Did you know many insects use cohesion or surface tension to walk on water? Using a presentation, scholars learn the more important properties of water. It extends into the concepts of solutions, suspensions, pH, and more.

Women today may not have heard of Madame C.J. Walker or Wilma Mankiller, and a few may not be aware of Emma Watson's current role; however, they have certainly benefited from their efforts. Using questions supplied by this guided...

Go from easy to challenging with a activity full of different problems designed for solving equations. Your mathematicians will be able to start small with one- and two-step equations and work their way up to multi-step equations. The...

If you use a fabulous lesson plan, then your pupils can become fabulous at solving equations. The 24th installment of 25 incorporates the use of if-then statements to illustrate the properties of equality used in solving two-step linear...

Prove the best way to keep up in Geometry. Scholars first review algebraic properties from Algebra. Learners then use the properties to create two-column proofs to solve linear equations before completing algebraic proofs by providing...

What common chemical includes safety warnings for being harmful if swallowed or inhaled, causes serious eye damage, and needs to be cleaned up immediately if spilled on the floor? Surprisingly, the dangerous chemical turns out to be...

Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting lesson, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test cups to see which...

How do you solve linear equations? Learn how to solve simple linear equations by applying properties of equality in this instructional slideshow. The materials include step-by-step instructions and key concepts to support understanding.

Create a human fraction to learn about division of exponents. Scholars develop the rule for division of exponents by being part of a human fraction to explore and justify the rule. They also consider zero exponents and negative exponents.

Solutions for linear equations create solution sets. Pupils watch a video on solving multi-step linear equations. They then solve equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign, combining like terms and the distributive...

Investigate field properties of real numbers. Scholars use a table for a given operation to determine the identity element. They use the same table to find a missing value in an equation.
