Description
An 11 day CCSS-Aligned Linear Equations Unit - including simplifying expressions, solving multi-step equations, solving equations with variables on both sides, writing equations, and equations with special cases.
Students will practice with both skill-based problems, real-world application questions, and error analysis to support higher level thinking skills. You can reach your students and teach the standards without all of the prep and stress of creating materials!
Standards: 8.EE.7a, 8.EE.7b; Texas Teacher? Grab the TEKS-Aligned Linear Equations Unit. Please don’t purchase both as there is overlapping content.
Learning Focus:
- review one-step, two-step and multi-step equations
- solve equations with variables on both sides
- solve equations with special cases, including using the distributive property
More details on what is included:
1. Unit Overviews
- Streamline planning with unit overviews that include essential questions, big ideas, vertical alignment, vocabulary, and common misconceptions.
- A pacing guide and tips for teaching each topic are included to help you be more efficient in your planning.
2. Student Handouts
- Student-friendly guided notes are scaffolded to support student learning.
- Available as a PDF and the student handouts/homework/study guides have been converted to Google Slides™ for your convenience.
3. Independent Practice
- Daily homework is aligned directly to the student handouts and is versatile for both in class or at home practice.
4. Assessments
- 1-2 quizzes, a unit study guide, and a unit test allow you to easily assess and meet the needs of your students.
- The Unit Test is available as an editable PPT, so that you can modify and adjust questions as needed.
5. Answer Keys
- All answer keys are included.
***Please download a preview to see sample pages and more information.***
How to use this resource:
- Use as a whole group, guided notes setting
- Use in a small group, math workshop setting
- Chunk each student handout to incorporate whole group instruction, small group practice, and independent practice.
- Incorporate our Linear Equations Activity Bundle for hands-on activities as additional and engaging practice opportunities.
Time to Complete:
- Each student handout is designed for a single class period. However, feel free to review the problems and select specific ones to meet your student needs. There are multiple problems to practice the same concepts, so you can adjust as needed.
Is this resource editable?
- The unit test is editable with Microsoft PPT. The remainder of the file is a PDF and not editable.
Looking for hands-on classroom activities?
- Check out the corresponding Linear Equations Activity Bundle, which includes activities like scavenger hunts, find it and fix its, mazes and more to allow students to engage and practice the concepts. Win-win!
