1. Translate verbal sentences into equations
and vice versa.
2. Solve equations using addition, subtraction,
multiplication & division.
3. Solve multi-step equations.
4. Determine whether two ratios are a
proportion and solve.

How can equations be used in working
formulas?
Is there a good method for solving all first order
equations?
Can you divide before you add/subtract in
solving an equation?
How are equations and ratios used in recipes?

What is the difference between and equation
and an identity or formula?
(2 days review, 1 enrichment, 1 assessment)
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
Students will obtain crucial skills needed for solving first
order equations. Manipulatives such as algebra tiles
may be used during this chapter to assist students in
relating the concept of operations on both sides of the
equation. Interactive websites may also be used for this
purpose. Students will learn and apply the principles of
addition and subtraction of equality. They will then use
and apply the principles of multiplication and division of
equality to solve equations. When this has occurred and
precision is at a desired level, they will set up and solve
proportion problems, weighted averages, and formulas.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division properties
of equality, identity, proportion, ratio, scale, equivalent
equations, multi-step equations, one and two step
equations, means, extremes, formula, weighted average,
working backwards,
FOUR STEP PLAN FOR PROBLEM SOLVING
Performance Task:
Formative Assessments:
Students will participate in class discussions, guided practice, computer work, and
whiteboard activities
Students will actively participate in class examples, discussion, class work,
whiteboards, open ended assessments, graphic organizers, exit tickets, daily warm
ups, homework, Study Island (or what is currently available) and unit tests, quizzes,
and other formative assessments.
