This lesson goes along with my math rap #MathAsALanguage to help students look for key words that may signal the use of certain operations, equation, or inequality symbols. It is designed to help out with being able to write equations and inequalities from word problems, and to take out the guess work of what a problem is asking for by understanding the terminology!
This product is tailor made for Texas 7th Grade math! It includes the bar chart that will be glued to the outside of the folder, the student friendly "I can" statements of TEKS that are meant to show growth over time, and an introductory PowerPoint on how to assemble the folder.
