Instructional Ideas

• Use the resource to help pupils struggling with solving equations with rational numbers and decimals

Classroom Considerations

• Assumes individuals can solve two-step equations with integer coefficients and constants
• Note that while the lesson is about rational equations, it only covers two-step equations with rational numbers as coefficients and constants, and does not cover equations with the variable in the denominator

Pros

• Answer key shows step-by-step solutions for each process
• Includes reproducible warm-up sheet

Cons

• Uses outdated California standards
• Does not include worksheets
