What does geometry have to do with geometry? The portion of a review series for a math assessment highlights how equation formation is assessed on the test. Pupils use geometric concepts such as perimeter and the sum of the measures of...

The truth is always best. Individuals continue to find values that make equations true in the 26th installment of the 36-part module. The only difference is that they now call them solutions to those equations.

Your pupils just may know more than you think they do! A pre-test assesses their ability to solve and write equations. It includes simple quadratic and cubic equations as well. 

Why does one person need 58 peaches; isn't that a bit excessive? This classic math dilemma offers pupils a chance to turn a word problem into an algebraic equation. Grade 6 Claim 1 Item Slide Shows includes this problem as part of a...

Middle schoolers identify an equation in one variable that models a restaurant order. They then solve the equation to determine the number of people who had each type of meal.

In this equations review learning exercise, students solve algebraic equations with one variable.  They use inverse operations to solve for the unknown.  Students translate word sentences to number sentences and then...

Bring balance to your lesson plans with an activity that asks individuals to solve one-step linear equations with inverse operations. Balance scales help learners understand the concept of isolating the variable.

Put your mathematicians to the test and see if they can solve this worksheet full of multi-step equations with rational numbers. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with fractions and decimals to solve for x. The top of the worksheet has...
