Student Statement
I can solve linear equations and inequalities involving 1 variable.
Common Core Standards
CED.A.3: Represent constraints by equations or inequalities and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context.
REI.A.1: Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.
REI.B.3: Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
The following are examples of mistakes that should give you an idea what types of mistakes I am looking for at each level. There are a variety of possible errors while solving problems like this, so this is not an exhaustive list.
As a reminder, here is the scale that is used in class to determine your ability level for each topic:
