In this COMPLETE 45-90 minute lesson, students will solve multi-step equations with the order of operations, combining like terms, and the distributive property. This lesson is taught in an "I do, we do, you do" format with practice problems and an exit ticket included!!

Standard: 7.EE.B.3 Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies.

Standard: 7.EE.B.4 Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

Standard: 8.EE.C.7b Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

Learning Targets:
I can... solve multi-step equations.

I will show I can... by using order of operations, combining like terms and the distributive property to solve.

I know I am successful when... I have answered 3 out of the 3 exit ticket questions correctly.
