Week 25

(Module 3 Topic 2 Lesson 3: Solving One-Step Multiplication Equations)

Learning objective = Students use double number lines and inverse operations to solve equations in the form px = q, where p and q are non-negative rational numbers. They use two inverse operation strategies to solve these equations: multiplying by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the variable or dividing. They also rewrite equations of the form x/a = b as (1/a)x = b.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***

Graphing a System of Equations | Grades 6-8 Recording Operations With Numbers and Letters (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesSolve a number riddle by finding the point of intersection for two lines. This video focuses on finding the solution for a system of equations, they are represented as an algebraic expression and a set of linear equations that are graphed to find an intersection point. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers.

Scale and Linear Equations | Thinkport | Grades 6-8 Properties of Operations for Expanding Linear Expressions With Rational Coefficients (Grade 7) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesLearn how an architect uses scale drawing and other mathematics to represent floor plans of buildings under construction in this video from MPT. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video and then create a scale drawing of a rectangular area in or near the classroom, choosing an appropriate scale and explaining their strategies for calculating scaled measurements. In the process, they are exposed to an algebraic strategy for calculating dimensions to scale. To get the most from the lesson, students should have experience solving equations of the form ax = b.
