MULTIPLICATION & DIVISION EQUATIONS

Today we are working on Multiplication & Division Equations. Because we have a SUPER short week we have to make sure we come back from our break knowing how to solve all types of equations.


Here are a few examples of how the problems can be written. Also how everyone should be SHOWING THEIR WORK.

After we discussed the examples on the board (in the picture) these problems were given to each student to work. Afterwards students were given the 9 problems to practice. Lastly we went over them all in class before the homework was assigned.

SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS - ADDITION

 Here is our current target. This will stay up until we have mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division equations.

To get everyone ready to solve equations we began by working some very simple number sentence problems like:

Students were quick to tell me the answer was 4. I then asked them to explain why the answer was 4 and to be able to tell how they figured this out. Here are their answers

• I counted up from 5 to 9
• I subtracted 9 - 5

All perfect answers. I explained that the subtraction was the best choice because not always are we able to count up easily because of fractions, decimals, or really big numbers.

We then inserted a variable into a number sentence problem and students realized they had been thinking algebraically for a long time. 

For our 1st day working on addition equations, my main goal was getting students to show their work correctly. So I showed two examples with work shown. This is what I expect to see on their homework.

IS IT TRUE???????

Does the given solution make the equation or inequality true?

Here is our posted Target for the topic.....
