Description
Teach students to write one-variable equations from real-world word problems—then solve and check them. This ready-to-teach Algebra 1 or (Pre-Algebra) lesson targets common trouble spots like turn-around phrases (“less than,” “more than”), percent problems, and consecutive integer setups. Includes a step-by-step PowerPoint, aligned guided notes, practice, and a short quiz (1–2 class periods).
What’s Included
• PowerPoint lesson with teacher cues and “good stopping points”
• Guided notes aligned to the slides
• Practice page(s) for classwork or homework
• Short quiz with answer key
Skills & Problem Types
• Translate word phrases to equations (is, of, less than, more than)
• Set up and solve percent equations (percent → decimal)
• Set up and solve consecutive integer equations (even/odd)
• Show steps clearly and check solutions
The three main focuses of this lesson is to teach students to set up equations from phrases such as:
- Two less than three times a number is 12
- 56% of what number is 200
- Find two consecutive even integers with a sum of 34
This is part of a larger unit that you can find in my store called Expressions, Equations, Inequalities and Literal Equations - Algebra Unit 1.
