The content of this lesson will continue to develop the skills and concepts presented in Grades 6 and 7. Specifically, this lesson builds on both 6.EE.B.7 (Solve real world and mathematical problem...
In this lesson, students learn the difference between linear expressions in x and non-linear expressions in
x, a distinction that is necessary to know whether or not an equation can be solved (at ...
In this lesson, students learn that a linear equation in x is a statement of equality between two linear expressions in x. Students also learn that an equation that contains a variable really a que...
In this lesson, students begin using properties of equality to rewrite linear expressions, specifically using the distributive property to “combine like terms.” Further, students practice substitut...
In this lesson, students practice the skills of the first few lessons in a geometric context. Students transcribe
written statements about angles and triangles into symbolic language and use prope...
Work on solving equations occurs in this lesson, where the equations are more complicated and require more steps to solve (8.EE.C.7b). It is in this lesson that students learn that not every linear...
