=Solving Equations and Inequalities=

- This is an organizer for students to take notes...starts with a quick review of adding/subtracting fractions and integers, then combines the two for adding/subtracting rational numbers. Then reviews solving one step equations and leads into solving one step equations with rational numbers.

-Just a set of one step equations to solve that include rational numbers.

Models steps for solving two step equations.

- modified from NCTM illuminations- shows a balance of rocks/boxes with rocks. Students use various strategies to determine solutions, and then we show how the situations can be modeled/solved with an equation that has variables on both sides.

4 examples for practicing solving equations with variables on both sides

- Seek and solve with mixed equations...6 equations where students need to simplify using distributive property/combine like terms and get variables to one side, 3 with just variables on both sides, and 3 with just distributive property/combine like terms.

-Powerpoint for determining whether an equation has one, no, or an infinite number of solutions.

- Three problems for modeling how to solve/graph, and a set of problems for practicing.
