Building and Solving Equations 1

This 90-minute lesson helps teachers assess how well students are able to create and solve linear equations with one variable and in more than one way. Students will work individually and in pairs on collaborative activities. They will evaluate and sample student work and create linear equations for each other to solve. In order to complete this lesson, students will need copies of the assessment tasks, paper, mini-whiteboards, pens, and erasers.
