Multistep equations

SmartPugTeaching on Instagram: “Day 18 (math 8): Equations, equations and more equations. Here is my anchor chart over solving equations with variables on both sides.…”

So today my kids were foldable overloaded. We had to make up for four lost days of curriculum. First, we started with a two step refresher foldable. The kids solved two step equations on the inside and explained in their own words how they arrived at their answer. Next, I found an awesome foldable online on teachers pay teachers. I think it is by far the best step by step foldable I have seen yet. Then, we worked out a few problems using the foldable. This led to the discussion of when the…

File for the Post: Solving Equations Flipbook I was looking through my interactive notebook this past week and thought I'd share one of my favorite lessons. I teach geometry and I always start the year off with a quick one-week algebra review to get my students re-familiarized with solving multi-step equations. Day 1: Students will tape down the steps to solving multi-step equations on the left side of their notebook and we go through the steps together and make little notes. It is extremely…

The last pages in our ISN before my students took their first big test, after starting the ISN, was on Solving Linear Equation with Variables on Both Sides of the Equal Sign. I wanted to do a foldable that I had seen used in a science class before, it's call the Layered Book. The only thing different is that I don't glue the pages together we just staple them at the top. This foldable gave us a tab for each of the five steps and space to solve the sample problem. To create this I took 3…

My favorite plan to leave for a sub is the FACEing Math activity. It takes most of my students two 42-minute periods to complete, is self-explanatory and easy for classroom management, provides r…

Teaching multi-step equations the first time to 150 8th graders was my most epic fail as a teacher. Teaching it to them the second time was my 2nd most epic fail as a teacher. It was embarrassing because I was co-teaching with a new teacher and I was supposed to be the expert. Yikes! After […]
