General Math (2nd, 4th, and 5th)
Monday-GAP-Solving Two Step equations. (Supporting Skills for Standard 8.EE.7)
I can solve two-step equation in real world context. Students will take notes over two-step equations
and inverse operations. Students will use dry-erase markers to practice two step equations. Students
will be given word problems with two step equations.
Formative Assessment: Exit Slip
Tuesday-Gap Two Step Equations and Fraction. (Supporting Skills for Standard 8.EE.7)
I can solve two-step equations in real world context. Students will be given notes and review over
fractions. Student will learn to use the calculators to solve equations with fractions. (General operations
with calculators including fraction will be practiced on the calculators). Students will also be given
equations in real world context.
Formative Assessment: Silent Poll
Wednesday- Solving Equations. (Standard 8.EE.7)
I can solve two-step equations in real world context.
Students will take a quiz over addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers, combining
like terms, and distributive property and solving equations in real world problems. Students will
complete a “Facing Math” activity over solving equations.
Formative Assessment: Quiz over Integers, Combining Like Terms, Distributive Property, and Two-Step
Equations in Real World Problems
Thursday- Solving Multi-Step Equations. (Standard 8.EE.7)
I can solve multi-step equations.
Students will begin the class by taking notes in our math notebook over combining like terms and using
the distributive property to solve multi-step equations. Problems will be modeled for the students and
students will be given an opportunity to work cooperatively to solve multi-step equations. Students will
use dry-erase markers on their desks.
Formative Assessment: Observation through cooperative activity.
Friday- Solving Multi-Step Equations. (Standard 8.EE.7)
I can solve multi-step equations in real world context.
Students will apply their skills of solving multi-step equations to complete a group “That’s Sum
Equation!” activity. Students will move on to work on writing equations and solving multi-step equation
through real world context problems (Carnegie Mathematics Resource).
