Students prepare themselves for their first test of the school year in math 8. The following concepts will be covered;
solving a linear equation by addition or subtraction
solving a linear equation by multiplication or division
solving a linear equation with two steps
solving a linear equation by setting up a proportion
solving a linear equation with a variable on both sides
solving a linear equation physically with algebra tiles
monday: students will perform station work
station 1: boardwork
station 2: seatwork
station 3: algebra tiles
station 4: manipulatives
stations 1-3 have equations written on notecards. students will try each problem, check their work and then check the solution on the back of the card. Instructions for each station will be posted. Students will be required to alert teacher at different progress points to examine their work. a written copy of the seat work will be turned in for credit.
