Unpacked Content

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
