Equations and Inequalities Across the School Year...
🖇 Encourage connections between math concepts by:
- consolidating the idea of inverse operations (i.e., division "undoes" multiplication) as the foundation of solving equations
- referencing a toolbox of calculation strategies from previous topics as a means to solve equations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
- explore equations and inequalities across the grades
- making connections to experiences with number lines (graphing an inequality means showing a range of possible values on a number line)
