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 round out the lesson plan, scholars move on to solving equations and justifying their steps using properties of equality.
