LESSON: ONE_STEP EQUATIONS PUZZLE GAME

GRADE LEVEL: MIDDLE SCHOOL

TIME FRAME: 1 HOUR

OBJECTIVE:

o The learner will work to solve one-step equations with rational numbers.

o The learner will solve equations that include decimals fractions, to solve for x.

MATERIALS:

o Scissors

o Zip lock bags

o Construction paper and glue

o Optional: lamination for storage and reuse. If you choose this, construction paper and glue will not be needed, as they will not glue the pieces to construction paper.

o Print out of puzzle for the instructor as an answer sheet.

PREPARATION:

Students will be working in pairs to complete the equations puzzle, which requires students to solve one-step equations with rational number. Place students in teams of two. Duplicate enough copies for each team to have one puzzle. Cut out the puzzle pieces and place them into a Ziplock bag.

Optional: You may laminate the puzzle pieces for reuse if you choose to keep the pieces to use one year to the next. However, you will not need construction paper and glue if lamination is chosen.

INTRODUCTION: (20 minutes)

Ask students what constitutes an equation.

Answer: An equation says that two things are equal, and may contain two or more

variables.

Ask students what constitute a rational number.

Answer: A number that you can put into fraction such a decimal, fraction, percent or

whole number.

Review how to work through a one-step equation using the following equations:

• 5x=80 Answer (16)

• x+-20=17 Answer: (37)

• x-(-10)=-10 Answer: (-20)

• x-4 1/3=2 2/3 Answer: (7)

HELPFUL VIDEO: (10 minutes)

Helpful Youtube video links included.

TEAM ACTIVITY: (30 minutes)

Provide each team with a puzzle in a Ziplock bag. Provide students 15-30 minutes to solve the equations and place the puzzle together. You may even encourage a competition to see which groups can complete the puzzle first providing prizes to first place, second place, and third place. Once they have the puzzle completed, have them glue it to a piece of construction paper if you have not chosen to laminate the game pieces for reuse.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (20 minutes)

Using an overhead projector or smart board projector that will display the puzzle pieces, work with the class to solve the puzzle. Students will check their answers.

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY/HOMEWORK

Give students a blank chart and allow them to create a puzzle for that they can give to another group/student to complete. Make sure the student keeps a copy of the puzzle to act as the answer sheet.

TEACHER’S ANSWER SHEET

Each puzzle has the answers in itself before being cut into puzzle pieces. The equations on the outer edges of the puzzle will not have answers to match. This makes the puzzle more challenging

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on solving literal equations (also known as rearranging formulas) for Algebra 1 or Integrated Math 1. These progressive task cards start students with simple one-step literal equations, and work up to multi-step equations involving factoring and fractions with unlike denominators. 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 solving literal equations for an indicated variable.
• 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.

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.

After using several visual patterns as warm ups building up to writing equations, I created this to push my students to figure out how to determine the slope and y intercept of an equation from a table that skips x values and doesn't include 0.

This worked great with Building Thinking Classroom practices, especially with students who are familiar with writing equations from visual patterns. I've personally used it with advanced 6th graders and 7th graders.

A detailed answer key and questions/hints for pushing students thinking are included.

I've also included links to several Desmos activities that I and others have made that help students develop a deeper understanding of writing equations with meaningful feedback (not just telling them if they are right or wrong but showing why).
