Representing Contexts with Equations
Grade 7
Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students consolidate their understanding of solving equations of the form
In the optional activities, students have the opportunity to create their own equations for situations and solve them. They reason quantitatively and abstractly as they relate the situation to the variables, terms, and operations in their equations (MP2).
- Coordinate (orally and in writing) verbal descriptions, equations, and diagrams that represent the same situation involving an unknown amount in the context of temperature or elevation.
- Write equations of the form
or to represent and solve a problem in an unfamiliar context, and present the solution method (using words and other representations).
