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.

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

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.

Students will gather data based on a game and create the four types of graphs (pictograph, frequency table, bar graph, and dot plot).

Students Working

Students will write a linear equation from a real-world situation, identify the components of the equation, and interpret their meanings in the problem’s context.

Students will evaluate and interpret data from both tabular and graphical forms to create a linear equation in either the form of direct variation (y=kx) or slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Students will then use their findings to interpret the meaning of both slope and y-intercept using a real-world relationship in word form.

Students will solve one-step multiplication problems using concrete objects, pictorial models, arrays, and equal groups.

Students will create planters that meet specific perimeter dimensions. The students will need to determine the number of sides and the perimeter for their planter.

Students will utilize manipulatives to create concrete and pictorial strip diagram representations in order to solve multi-step multiplication and division word problems.

This lesson focuses on multi-step word problems involving division along with addition or subtraction. The students chunk word problems into each individual step and learn how to choose a familiar strategy.

Students will learn how to use an input-output table using real-world examples.

Students will construct a dot plot using data collected on the faces of a cube after it is rolled. Students will then use a key to change the data to represent a larger population.
