PowerPoint Lesson | Solving Equations (Distributing & Combining Like Terms)

Description

This PowerPoint contains nine examples of solving equations. It walks through each problem listing the steps and how to check the answer. It could be used as follows:

8th grade: Use all nine examples. Examples 1-6 will be a good review of the type of solving equation problems the students should already have learned in 6th and 7th grade. Examples 7-9 progress through distributing and combining like terms as well as a proportion problem.

7th grade: Use examples 1 and 2 as review and then examples 3-6 to teach 2-step equations and distributing.

6th grade: Use examples 1 and 2 to teach 1-step equations and how to check the answer.

I hope you enjoy it! Happy Teaching!

I loved using this power point along with my students. I showed the problem and then had students try the problem on their own. Then we work through the problem together and they take notes.

Questions & Answers

Standards

CCSS6.EE.B.7

Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form 𝘹 + 𝘱 = 𝘲 and 𝘱𝘹 = 𝘲 for cases in which 𝘱, 𝘲 and 𝘹 are all nonnegative rational numbers.

CCSS7.EE.B.4a

Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?

CCSS8.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.
