This is a step-by-step presentations to allow students to explore the basic concept of balancing equations with simple numbers. In this presentation students learn that there can be operations on both sides of the equals mark (3+3=2+1), and sometimes the equation contains a letter in place of a number (3+3=2+N) Students practice as a whole group finding out what N equals.

Students practice balancing equations (3+3=2+N) using these cards. Make this a board game or just a flash card practice game. Students can use the cards or white board to solve the equations.

This classwork page allows you as a teacher to see if your students understand the concept of balancing simple equations (3+3=2+N). Comes with an answer key.
