Balanced Equations

In this chemistry learning exercise, students practice balancing chemical equations, identifying types of chemical reactions, and analyze terminology associated with chemical equations.

This learning exercise calls students to practice balancing a variety of chemical equations. Additionally, students determine the number of atoms for each element and add coefficients to balance each equation. This would be a great...

If you have two bags with an unknown number of tiles, represented by x, and you add three tiles to get seven total, you can set up a linear equation to represent the problem. Use this example and a few others to demonstrate how to solve...

Demonstrate the abstract process of solving equations by using algebra tiles as a concrete representation. Scholars begin by solving equations through the use of manipulatives. As they gain more confidence, they progress to whiteboards...

Do your scholars freeze when the variable disappears when solving an equation? Support their conceptual development of these types of equations using a video lesson. Young scholars replay the video as needed or rewind to re-watch...

If Rylee buys a shirt and a pair of jeans with 90 dollars and the shirt costs 22 dollars, how much do the jeans cost? How many solutions does this question have? Use the video to help your learners answer these questions by modeling an...

Learners solve linear equations. By observing the graph of each side of an equation using the TI-nspire graphing calculator, your class gains insight into solutions, as well as balancing equations and transforming linear equations....

It feels great when everything is in balance, doesn't it? Individuals solve systems of equations, some of which include quadratic equations to finish the last in a three-part series on balances. An online balance app helps them see...

Math is balancing act, and learners discover that when things don't balance our answer can be no solution. The idea of no solution is explained and solved for in two different problems. A pattern is discovered to allow for a shortcut in...

We could all use a little balance. A hands-on activity provides a concrete reference for solving equations. Learners build an equation out of manipulatives and solve the equation by keeping the manipulatives balanced.
