Algebra I Inb Pages - Solving Equations

After factoring polynomials, my Algebra 1 students finally moved onto solving equations.  Again, I approached this unit of measurement inward an alone dissimilar agency this yr than in conclusion year.  I volition post service to a greater extent than specifics most the Do/Undo Method that I taught my students later, but I did desire to larn pictures of these pages posted now.  If you lot get got whatever questions at all, ship me a message or move out a comment.  And, I volition exercise my best to write upwards a weblog post service amongst to a greater extent than details.

You'll reveal that I dear printing my foldables on colored paper.  I mean value that notes taken on colored newspaper are only to a greater extent than memorable than notes taken on plain, white re-create paper.  My students frequently scream back which page inward their notebooks they demand to reference past times what color the foldable was printed on.  The newspaper I purpose the most is Fireworx build colored paper.  It's available from Amazon, comes inward loads of colors, together with is priced real reasonably.  Astrobrights paper makes for the prettiest, brightest foldables, but it's a fighting to a greater extent than pricey.  So, I salvage it for printing posters.

Here nosotros go!

The notes at the bottom were my endeavour at helping my students who were having problem determining if a set out was beingness added, subtracted, or multiplied inward an equation.  I don't know if it helped or not.

The adjacent 2 pages (on solving equations amongst variables on both sides of the equal sign) were stolen from Sarah at Everybody is a Genius.  I did precisely every bit she said to.  I passed out these 6 balanced scale problems to my students.  It was before long after Halloween, therefore I yet had leftover fox or process candy.  I promised candy to the foremost pupil who could figure out all vi problems.  Instant engagement.  That instant appointment was, of course, followed past times instant frustration.  

Finally, I agreed to become over the answers amongst my students.  We discussed 1, 2, together with and therefore 4.  Oh, my students were SO mad at me.  I was loving every 2d of this lesson!  When I told them that I had lied to them at the outset together with told them all of the scales were balanced, they were non happy.  In fact, they decided that I should get got to give them all candy since I lied to them.  That was my innovation all along, of course.

 I yet had roughly students who were getting their steps out of guild when trying to solve equations.  After a quick google search, I happened upon this solving equations flowchart foldable.  I was similar a shot inward love!  You tin dismiss download a re-create of the foldable here from In Stillness the Dancing.

I referred to this every bit our flippy, flappy, foldy thing.  I mean value this was i of our most-used foldables of the yr therefore far.  Our particular didactics instructor loved it, too.  I approximate the argue why I dear this therefore much is that it takes students pace past times pace through the procedure of solving an equation.  These are the same questions I would live on scream for a pupil if I was sitting past times them together with helping them.  By giving all of my students this tool together with modeling how it works, I am equipping my students to assist themselves.  (And, yes, my students remarked that I was WAY TOO happy most this foldable.)
