$5 - $10 Algebra Resources (by price, high to low)

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing and solving systems of equations from real-life word problems and mathematical scenarios (8.EE.8c). This lesson uses Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Description of how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.
• 11 Full-Size Task Cards on writing and solving systems of equations real-life scenarios
• Answers for all Task Cards
• "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template
• Student Notes answer key
• "Check Your Understanding" student Exit Ticket
• Exit Ticket answer key

This lesson will help your students learn how to write systems of equations from a word problem, encourages rich math discussion, and provides an additional challenge for your students who move at an accelerated pace. This lesson starts with a very low floor to encourage access for all students, and provides a high ceiling with extension questions. Once complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

This lesson is the 3rd in a 3-part series for 8th grade systems of equations. The two other lessons are:

1. Solving Systems By Substitution Thin Slicing Lesson - 8th Grade Math 8.EE.8b

2. Solving Systems By Elimination Thin Slicing Lesson - 8th Grade Math 8.EE.8b

Please consider using the whole 3 lesson unit when teaching solving systems of equations algebraically for 8th grade. If you want all three lessons, you can buy them in the bundle at a 15% discount, and get a FREE Solving Systems Level Ups review activity included.

If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.

If you would like to know more about how I use Building Thinking Classrooms in my own class, check out my blog. I am also creating and refining more thin slicing lessons, so follow my store or check back regularly to see what's new.

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign using the Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms thin slicing model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Description of how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces in my own classroom.
• 11 Full-Size Task Cards on solving single-variable equations
• Answers for all Task Cards
• "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template
• Student Notes answer key
• "Check Your Understanding" student Exit Ticket
• Exit Ticket answer key

This lesson will help your students learn how to solve single-variable equations with variables on both sides and encourages rich math discussion. This lesson starts with a very low floor using picture models to encourage access for all students, and provides a high ceiling with open middle extension questions. Once complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

This lesson is the 2nd in a series for 8th grade equation solving. The two other lessons are:

1. Solving Equations Thin Slicing Lesson: Grade 8

3. Finding The Number Of Solutions Thin Slicing Lesson - Grade 8

Please consider using the whole 3 lesson unit when teaching equation solving for 8th grade.

If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.

If you would like to know more about how I use Building Thinking Classrooms in my own class, check out my blog. I am also creating and refining more thin slicing lessons, so follow my store or check back regularly to see what's new.

1. 10 Grid Method Worksheets

• These worksheets provide grids for students to practice the grid method. Each sheet allows students to hone their skills by drawing within the provided squares, helping them become proficient in accurately enlarging images.

2. 10 Pre-Gridded Scale Factor Project Worksheets

• These worksheets contain images already divided into grids, designed to be used as a reference for the scale factor project. Students will use these pre-gridded images to accurately scale and draw larger versions on poster boards.

3. Detailed Instructions

• Step-by-step instructions guide students on how to set up their posters and create grids. The instructions cover everything from dividing the poster board to labeling the grid, drawing the image, tracing and coloring. This ensures that students understand each part of the process and can complete their project with confidence.

4. Comprehensive Grading Rubric

• The included rubric provides clear criteria for evaluating the scale factor project. It covers key aspects such as grid creation, grid labeling, drawing accuracy, tracing and clean-up, coloring/painting, background and overall effort and presentation. This rubric helps ensure a fair and consistent assessment of each student’s work.

5. Color Reference Digital Images

• Included is a digital file of each image to be used as a color reference of each image. These are useful for posting as a digital copy for students to use as a reference for colors if needed, especially since black and white copies may print slightly dark. This ensures that students can accurately replicate all lines and colors in their projects.

All ideas in this bundle are original and crafted with educational excellence in mind. The images were created with the assistance of AI, ensuring high quality and accuracy. These resources are designed to provide an engaging and effective learning experience for your students.
