Students will collaboratively solve two-step real-world word multiplication and division problems by using a checklist.  Students will also solve a two-step word problem by completing a hands-on group activity. 
 

Students will create and solve equations with variables on one side before comparing the equation with another to determine at what rate they will be equal.

Students will participate in multiple centers including a guided math center that reinforces subtraction concepts.

The students will engage in group activities to solve word problems with and without models as well as writing equations.

Students will gather objects to compare quantities and justify their answers pictorially and verbally. They will use their vocabulary posters and accountable talk menus to discuss with their partners. 

Given a prompt, students will solve a multi-step equation using concrete and/or pictorial models.

Through a collaborative breakout station format, students will access prior knowledge to develop a deeper understanding of the relationships of slope through proportional relationships represented by unit rate and linear non-proportional relationships. A variety of representations will be practiced through scenarios, tables, graphs, and equations.

Students will use strategies to break down steps in a word problem, allowing for an understanding of the vocabulary and processes necessary, to apply correct math operations, maintain correct place value, and analyze solution feasibility.

Students will calculate the rate of change and y-intercept from a real-world problem represented in a graph, a table, and/or an equation. They will then display and present their findings to the class.
