Description

This algebra unit focuses on solving one-step equations, working through the steps of the COSMIC method. Scaffolded and differentiated algebra worksheets created for students in special education.

This unit addresses:

  • translating a problem
  • Eliminating the coefficient
  • Isolating the variable

There are MANY opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on these very abstract and challenging concepts. This repetition helps students develop learning patterns. In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

✩✩✩This unit uses the COSMIC method:

  1. Copying/translating the problem
  2. Operation choice (addition or subtraction)
  3. Subtracting or adding
  4. Multiply or divide to get rid of the coefficient
  5. Isolate the variable
  6. Check you answer

✩✩✩ This unit has digital versions of the activities.

  • 2 Sudoku puzzles (includes digital version)
  • Assessments (3 versions) (includes digital version)

*****************************************************************************

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. Remember, you will gain credit toward future purchases on tpt as you leave more and more feedback!!

Really great product to break down and get to the basics of this math concept. I really felt like it helped my students, who were previously struggling with the balanced equation model, really understand it. Thank you!
