Lesson Plan →Objectives, pacing and practice, built from this lesson's brief.
Guided Notes →One page your students fill in and keep.
Exit Ticket →Three items at the end of class. No student accounts.
Re-teach →After an exit ticket: who missed what, and what to do tomorrow.
Homework →Assign practice; it grades itself.

"Solve a linear equation in one variable, making strategic use of algebraic structure." "Fluently solve a linear equation in one variable." "Students will interpret, create, use, represent, and solve problems using linear representations; and make connections between different representations of linear relationships, all from high school algebra courses preparatory for the math aligned with college and career readiness expectations."

What you'll learn

Solve a linear equation in one variable by applying inverse operations to both sides, taking the shorter route where the equation's structure offers one
Solve a linear equation with the variable appearing on both sides
Solve a linear equation containing parentheses by distributing
Solve a linear equation with fractional coefficients by clearing denominators
Decide whether every term of an equation shares a factor, and divide both sides by it before distributing when it does
