Subject Area

Mathematics

Grade(s)

7, 8

Overview

In this activity from Khan Academy, students will review solving multi-step equations. The students will solve two-step equations, equations with variables on both sides, and equations using the Distributive Property. This activity has embedded videos, practice problems with immediate checks for the correctness of answers, an explanation option, and more practice choice at the end of the lesson. This review can be assigned to Google Classroom

    UP:MA19.8.11

    Vocabulary

    • one solution
    • no solution
    • Infinitely many solutions
    • like terms
    • Distributive property

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • how to solve one and two step equations with one variable.
    • Write linear equations given real-world contexts.
    • That a solution to an equation can represent a real-world quantity.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • apply the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify an equation.
    • Recognize a solution as representing one solution, no solution, or infinite solutions.
    • Analyze and solve a real-world problem and write an appropriate equation for it that leads to a solution that can be explained within the context of the problem.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • equations can now have more than one solution in given real-world scenarios.
    • The distributive property and combining like terms are essential to simplifying an equation. therefore making it easier to solve.
