Equn Bulletin Board

This document provides tasks and examples for students to practice solving equations involving integers, decimals, fractions, one-step and two-step operations, and equations with variables on both sides. The tasks guide students through word problems by having them write and solve equations to find missing values. Students are asked to solve equations, show their work, and check their answers. They also analyze relationships and common mistakes in solving equations.

Task Overview:

Equations in Our Everyday Lives

This task will allow students to extend their skills to solving equations
containing integers, decimals, and fractions and identify the relationship
between additive inverse in terms of change.
Then, the one-step equations involving integers, decimals, and fractions
will gradually transition to a deeper understanding of solving equations
by exploring two-step equations involving two operations.
Then, students will solve equations that contain multiple operations,
including combining like terms and the distributive property.
Finally, variables on both sides will be added to the equations skills and
the concept of equality will be developed as equations are balanced.
Students were given a task of choosing 6 of the 10 real life word problems. In
groups of two they were required to:
Read and discuss the real life situation
Identify the missing variable
Set up the equation
Follow the steps to solving equation using the prescribed steps
Solve for the missing variable
Check for meaning using the check method
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
1. How is the distributive property applied when rewriting and evaluating
algebraic expressions?
2. How do you solve equations containing integers?
3. How do you solve equations containing decimals?
4. How do you solve equations containing fractions?
5. How do you solve equations with two operations?
6. How do you solve multi-step equations?
7. How do you solve equations with variables on both sides?
8. How are verbal expressions translated to algebraic expression?

Task #1: Solving Two-Step Equations


You can use inverse operations to solve equations with more than one operation.
Part A.
A dog sled driver added more gear to the sled, doubling its weight. This felt too
heavy, so the driver removed 20 pounds to reach the final weight of 180 pounds.
Write and solve an equation to find the sleds original weight.
Show your work!

Part B.
Analyze Relationships Describe how you could find the original weight of the sled
using only arithmetic. Compare this method with the method shown in Example 2.

Task #2 Two-Step Equations with fractions and Negative Numbers


Many real-world quantities such as altitude or temperature involve negative
numbers. You solve equations with negative numbers just as you did equations with
positive numbers.
Task A.
To convert a temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, first
subtract 32. Then multiply the result by . An outdoor thermometer showed a
temperature of -10C. What was the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?
Show Your Work!
John and Anne are discussing how they change temperatures in degrees Celsius
into degrees Fahrenheit.

a. If the temperature is 20 C, what is this in Fahrenheit?

b. Will Annes method is too high or too low, and by how much?

c. For what temperatures does Anne's method give a temperature that is


too high?

Task 3.
An airplane flies at an altitude of 38,000 feet. As it nears the airport, the plane
begins to descend at a rate of 600 feet per minute. At this rate, how many
minutes will the plane take to descend to 18,800 feet?
Show Your Work!

Task 4: Error Analysis


Mr. Grant solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below.

Part A
On the lines below, explain in words the mistake Mr. Grant made.
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Part B
Solve the equation 3x + 6 = 24 correctly.
Show your work.

Answer _______________________________

Task 5: Write and solve equations from real life situations
