3 pages of two-step equations with space to check your answer by substituting it back into the initial equation. All four operations included along with a few fractions, decimals, negatives, and problems requiring the distributive property! The first problem is completed as an example, making this perfect for stations or sub plans!

After using several visual patterns as warm ups building up to writing equations, I created this to push my students to figure out how to determine the slope and y intercept of an equation from a table that skips x values and doesn't include 0. This worked great with Building Thinking Classroom practices, especially with students who are familiar with writing equations from visual patterns. I've personally used it with advanced 6th graders and 7th graders. A detailed answer key and questions

Do your students need concrete or real-world examples before learning abstract concepts like slope? This introductory lesson to slope on a coordinate grid is perfect for you! It begins with a story about the steepness of cat stairs and ramps.

Do your students need practice determining equivalent expressions with exponents, the commutative property, the distributive property, and more with just numbers and with variables? This activity is great for independent practice or group work! There is one page with just numbers and one page with variables. In each row, there are 3 equivalent expressions and one that is not equivalent. Find the odd one out. Answer Key included. Perfect for a substitute day! Includes exponents but no negatives.

Properties of Operations Card Sort with a variety of visual representations illustrating the Distributive, Commutative and Associative Properties. Contains 29 expressions, 29 visual representations, and 29 verbal descriptions. Some of the expressions are equivalent to another expression in the sort illustrating one of the properties and some are not equivalent illustrating common mistakes and misconceptions. Includes some cards with only numbers and some with variables. *Due to the different t

This 4 page packet is the perfect sub plan activity as each page is scaffolded with examples and ordered thoughtfully so that questions get progressively more challenging. Includes 2 pages of Visual, Solve the Equation, and Check Your Answer and 2 pages of Word Problems where students write the equation. Includes equations of the form Ax+C=Q and Ax+C=Bx+D. Answer Key included for the first two pages only. The word problem pages have multiple correct answers for some questions.
