$5 - $10 8th Grade Math Scaffolded Notes

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing single variable equations from a word problem or real world scenario. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple algebraic expressions and sentences, then lead students to write equations involving variables on both sides and equations with multiple unknown quantities. This lesson with printable task cards 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:

• Complete instructions on how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.
• 12 Full-Size Task Cards on writing single variable equations from real world 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.

Once the thin slicing lesson is complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as complete a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

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.

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing linear functions from a visual pattern for 8th grade math. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple picture patterns starting at Step zero and progress up to growing and shrinking patterns with large gaps in between each step. This lesson with printable task cards 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 works great as an introduction to linear functions using visual patterns instead of the usual tables, graphs, and scenarios. Your visual learners with thrive as they are able to explain how they see each pattern growing, then connect that growth to the constant rate of change in a linear function.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete instructions on how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.
• 11 Full-Size Task Cards on writing linear functions from a visual pattern.
• Answers for all Task Cards.

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on solving single variable linear equations (8.EE.7b) for 8th grade using the 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 in my own classroom.
• Suggested Lesson Introduction Script
• 12 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

This lesson will help your students learn how to solve single-variable equations using combining like terms and the distributive property, encourages rich math discussion, and introduces various strategies for solving equations. 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 1st in a 3-part series for 8th grade equation solving. The two other lessons are:

2. Equations With Variables On Both Sides "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.

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on determining if a linear equation has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions (8.EE.7a) for 8th grade using the 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 in my own classroom.
• 11 Full-Size Task Cards on finding the number of solutions in a linear equation.
• 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 determine if a linear equation has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solution. This lesson starts with a very low floor to encourage access for all students, and builds up the rigor in "thin slices" until it reaches a high ceiling with challenging 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 series for 8th grade equation solving. The two previous lessons are:

1. Solving Equations "Thin Slicing" Lesson: Grade 8

2. Equations With Variables On Both Sides "Thin Slicing" Lesson: Grade 8

Please consider using the previous two lessons before trying this one.
