Students learn to translate real-world scenarios into algebraic equations and solve them, focusing on rational numbers and variable definitions.
A comprehensive lesson on converting between fractions, decimals, and percents using a differentiated choice board. Students explore benchmark values and real-world applications through varied tasks tailored to different learning needs.
A cumulative review lesson where students apply their knowledge of inverse operations to solve mixed one-step equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Expanding algebraic thinking to multiplication and division. Students will learn how to 'undo' multiplication by splitting into equal groups (division) and 'undo' division through multiplication, maintaining the balance of the scale.
A review and application of both strategies through a competitive classroom game.
Focused practice on the standard long division algorithm to build fluency and accuracy with multi-digit divisors.
Step-by-step introduction to the standard algorithm for long division, connecting it to the partial quotients method.
Practice with partial quotients to solve more complex multi-digit division problems, emphasizing estimation and subtraction accuracy.
Introduction to division through partial quotients, focusing on using "friendly numbers" to build confidence with large numbers.
A foundational introduction to basic algebra using the balance scale analogy, specifically designed for students working at a 3rd-grade level. Students will learn about variables and the concept of inverse operations to 'undo' addition and subtraction.
A Tier 2 intervention lesson for 6th grade focused on equivalent ratios using tape diagrams and visual models. Students practice through guided 'recipes' and matching activities to build conceptual understanding.
A focused lesson on solving quadratic equations and understanding quadratic functions, featuring a review presentation and a multiple-choice assessment.
