Solving+Equations

=Solving Equations=

Group roles for practice solving equations- (cards to cut out, laminate and distribute to each group).
 * Assign each member a task. Person A can only combine like terms, person B can only add or subtract, etc. (idea from [|this website])

[|Writing and Solving Equations]- This lesson looks really interesting...a mix of writing expressions/equations...using distributive property to identify equivalent expressions, etc.

-powerpoint for steps to solving multi step equations

- Solving multi step equations with variables on both sides...rational number solutions (not just integers) -Grid for students to fill in solutions to Around the World Activity.
 * [[file:Solving Equations Seek and Solve.doc]]- same problems from Around the World, modified to be a "seek and solve" where students solve a problem, and then look for the solution at the top of another problem. The spaces at the top of the recording sheet are to record the order that they do the problms in...
 * [[file:Solving Equations Seek and Solve Recording Sheet.doc]]- recording sheet for seek and solve activity.

- "Exploration" activity for solving absolute value equations



-Practice solving equations and matrix operations

- this activity from TI explains how to use the graphing calculator to check answers to absolute value equations.
