Lesson
Introduce
two
steps
equations
of
the
form
ax+b
=
c
where
a,
b,
and
c
are
whole
numbers.
Ask
students
to
come
up
with
examples
of
equations
of
this
form.

The
teacher
can
pause
the
Khan
Academy
video
when
students
want
to
discuss
what
they
are
viewing.
The
video
includes
the
use
of
algebra
tiles
so
students
will
follow
with
their
own
set
of
algebra
tiles.
Ask
students
to
work
towards
solving
the
two
step
equations
from
Khan
Academys
practice
questions
(with
or
without
the
use

Assessment:
Formative
Assessment:
Assess
the
work
done
while
solving
problems
with
and
without
algebra
titles
and
take
note
of
how
many
students
are
feeling
comfortable
without
using
manipulatives
to
solve
every
problem.
Conclusion:
Working
with
two-step
equations
to
encourage
a
new
deeper
understanding
of
equations
presented
from
a
new
perspective
(Khan
Academy).
