Pre-Algebra Lesson Plan (Reteach)

February 2-6, 2009
RETEACH PRE-ALGEBRA THIS WEEK; REVIEW DC BAS QUESTIONS

MONDAY
2.2.2009

6PRA1 Use the properties of equality to solve problems using letter name variables (eg ¼ + x = 7/12)

WARM UP:
Give the definition:
-Concepts
-Problems
-variables
- equality
-inequality

The student will:
T1 GOAL: Distinguish between variables and numbers in an equation.
T2 GOAL: Solve an equation with a letter name variable as the solution (eg, 4+1=x)
T3 GOAL: Solve an equation with a letter name variable in a position other than the solution (eg, 9+x=10)

By answering at least 4/5 math problems on the board and on paper.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
How do we solve problems of inequality using letter name variables?

WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION:
Show this PowerPoint presentation on Linear Equations: http://jc-schools.net/PPT/linear-equations.ppt

SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION: Break the students in three groups and give them 5 math problems involving linear equations. Ask them to:

T1 GOAL: Distinguish between variables and numbers in an equation.
T2 GOAL: Solve an equation with a letter name variable as the solution (eg, 4+1=x)
T3 GOAL: Solve an equation with a letter name variable in a position other than the solution (eg, 9+x=10)
