One Step Equations Review - Relay Race!

Unit 6: Equations
Lesson 4 of 22

Objective: Students will be able to solve a one step equation using inverse operations AND check their work.

Big Idea: Keep practicing those inverse operations! Soon we will be adding another step :)

Opener: As students enter the room, they will immediately pick up and begin working on the opener – Instructional Strategy - Process for openers. This method of working and going over the opener lends itself to allow students to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others, which is mathematical practice 3.

Learning Target: After completion of the opener, I will address the day’s learning targets to the students. For today's lesson, the intended target is “I can use inverse operations to solve a one-step equation.” Students will jot the learning target down in their agendas (our version of a student planner, there is a place to write the learning target for every day).

Relay Race

Relay Race: Instructional Strategy - Relay RaceIn this activity, students will be working with their table groups, persevering through problems and reasoning with one another (mathematical practice 1 and 3) until they can get the same answers I got - or prove me wrong! The problems in the relay race require that students pay close attention to signs and steps, and students should check their work with available tools! (mathematical practices 5 and 6).
