6.EE.4 Equivalent Expressions
Straight to the point, learners are asked to compare a set of five expressions, determine which are equivalent, and then write equivalent equations for those that do not have any. A benefit is that they will review using properties of...
Curated OER
Logarithmic Equations
In this logarithmic equations worksheet, learners cut apart 16 squares. Each square has four equations, one per side. They match equivalent equations, creating a new square when successful.
Curated OER
Equivalent Equations
Answer the age-old question every middle schooler has, what are equivalent equations? Here, they will explore the concept, discuss what equivalent equations are, and how to solve them. They also discuss performing an operation on both...

Introduction To Solving Equations
Use manipulatives (film cans and balance scales) to visualize and solve equivalent equations with your math class. After a lecture/demo, they utilize handouts and solve various equations using the methods learned.
