Unit Plan
Solving Linear Equations
Overarching Goals:
Students will be able to solve one and two step linear equations.
Objectives
During lessons 1 to 4, after reviewing the mathematical properties, students will be able to
balance an equation
, and correctly solve and justify each step of the solution of a linear equation with
variables on one, or both sides
by working in groups, using
Algebra Tiles
and visual models.
Lesson 1
: One class (90 minutes).
Sides of the equations
Trial and error
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to identify both sides of the equation and find the solution of a one-step linear equation using algebra tiles and trial and error.

By the end of lesson 5, after reviewing mathematical operations and their inverses, students will be able to analyze an equation and choose the
adequate method
to isolate the unknown on one side of the equation by
reversing
the building up process.
Lesson 5:
Two classes (90 minutes each).
Two-step equation
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to solve a
two step equation
by applying the reverse of order of operations.

Formative Assessment
IXL: Solve Multi-step equation
Formative:
At the end of this unit, students take a formative quiz before they take the summative test.
Escape Room: Solving Equations
This assessment is considered as a mock before the summative assessment, to help students self-evaluate themselves before the test.
Students are given questions on each page/station to be answered correctly to be able to move to the next page/station. Along the way, students collect a letter after correctly answering each question to be able to figure out the password and escape the room.
