You'd feel bad if someone called you by the wrong name — and equations are no different. Young mathematicians learn the vocabulary associated with equations and expressions identifying these components in sample equations.

Now there are parentheses in these equations? As the lessons continue in this series, equations get progressively more complex. Eighth graders solve equations by applying the distributive property before using inverse operations. 

What does it mean to solve an equation? The resource revisits the concept of making a linear equation true. Classmates use algebraic methods to transform sides of equations to expressions with fewer terms. They use substitution to...

Learners solve complex radical equations. Solutions vary from one, two, and none, allowing pupils to gain experience solving a variety of problems.

Mix up your lessons with the resource on mixture problems. Scholars use manipulatives to model and solve mixture problems. Individuals then set up both one- and two-variable equations to solve the problems.
