What educators are saying

I love these units. I have purchased every one. They are a great resource and help students understand the content and make teacher prep easy.
This is a great low prep resource. My students need to learn in very small increments and this resource allowed my to teach multi-step equations easily.

Description

A 13 day CCSS-Aligned Expressions and Equations Unit including: simplifying expressions, properties of operations, solving one-step equations, and solving two-step equations.

Students will practice with both skill-based problems, real-world application questions, and error analysis to support higher level thinking skills. You can reach your students and teach the standards without all of the prep and stress of creating materials!

Standards: 7.EE.1, 7.EE.2, 7.EE.3, 7.EE.4; Texas Teacher? Grab the TEKS-Aligned Equations and Inequalities Unit. Please don’t purchase both as there is overlapping content.

Learning Focus:

  • add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients
  • solve two-step and multi-step equations including using the distributive property
  • write and solve equations that represent real-world situations

More details on what is included:

1. Unit Overviews

  • Streamline planning with unit overviews that include essential questions, big ideas, vertical alignment, vocabulary, and common misconceptions.
  • A pacing guide and tips for teaching each topic are included to help you be more efficient in your planning.

2. Student Handouts

  • Student-friendly guided notes are scaffolded to support student learning. 
  • Available as a PDF and the student handouts/homework/study guides have been converted to Google Slides™ for your convenience.

3. Independent Practice

  • Daily homework is aligned directly to the student handouts and is versatile for both in class or at home practice. 

4. Assessments

  • 1-2 quizzes, a unit study guide, and a unit test allow you to easily assess and meet the needs of your students.
  • The Unit Test is available as an editable PPT, so that you can modify and adjust questions as needed.

5. Answer Keys

  • All answer keys are included.

How to use this resource:

  • Use as a whole group, guided notes setting
  • Use in a small group, math workshop setting
  • Chunk each student handout to incorporate whole group instruction, small group practice, and independent practice.
  • Incorporate our Expressions and Equations Activity Bundle for hands-on activities as additional and engaging practice opportunities.

Time to Complete:

  • Each student handout is designed for a single class period. However, feel free to review the problems and select specific ones to meet your student needs. There are multiple problems to practice the same concepts, so you can adjust as needed.

Is this resource editable?

  • The unit test is editable with Microsoft PPT. The remainder of the file is a PDF and not editable.

Looking for hands-on classroom activities?

  • Check out the corresponding Expressions and Equations Activity Bundle, which includes activities like scavenger hunts, find it and fix its, mazes and more to allow students to engage and practice the concepts. Win-win!

Standards

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. For example, 𝘢 + 0.05𝘢 = 1.05𝘢 means that “increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.”
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
Solve word problems leading to equations of the form 𝘱𝘹 + 𝘲 = 𝘳 and 𝘱(𝘹 + 𝘲) = 𝘳, where 𝘱, 𝘲, and 𝘳 are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
