This past week for Stumped in Pre-Algebra we covered One-Step Equations. As part of reviewing the process I created a mini anchor chart to put our Interactive Notebooks.
The chart started pretty simple with title and a sample problem for each of the four operations. Next, it was time to start working through the steps of each equation and take helpful notes as we went along.
First up was Addition! Pretty simple to find the missing addend in this problem. You have probably been doing this since Kindergarten and didn't know you were doing Algebra!
Time for some Subtraction! Again, just finding a missing value. Now a bit trickier with this one since it became a negative variable. Just remember, what you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other!
Are you ready to Mulitply? Using those inverse operations is key! Don't forget to use another method to check your answer!
Last, but not least, it's time to Divide! Now, with division it was a bit trickier and you can see where we used our inverse operations to help us change up the problem before we checked it.
Simple as that but a great reference! Check back Monday for a Flippable on Multi-Step Equations! :)
This is a great idea that I am going to have to use with my students as we review for our unit test this week. Thanks for the idea!
