What educators are saying

I sent this home as extra help and review. The directions were very clear for both my students and their parents to understand.
This is a good review incorporating the Montessori math materials students used in the classroom to originally learn this skill set.

Description

Introduction to Algebra: Add and Subtract, Balance Equations & Word Problems VETERAN Montessori-inspired printable Pre-Algebra help (5 pages + key):


Explore the basics of balancing algebraic equations. These pages guide young mathematicians to:

  • Explore the basics of balancing algebraic equations with step-by-step examples
  • Practice solving for the variable x using one step addition and subtraction
  • Identify like terms and simplify simple expressions
  • Practice converting word problems into simple algebraic equations
  • Use domain-specific phrases and learn Mathematical Terminology such as: constant, variable, simplifying, like terms, algebraic expressions, canceling out, net zero sum, and equations.

What does solving for x mean? Practice solving for the variable x, sometimes called the "mystery number," using one step addition and subtraction. Next identify like terms and simplify simple expressions. Finally, practice converting word problems into simple algebraic equations.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed the only way our world would find lasting peace was through educating our children. Much of her elementary curriculum was written by her during a period of internment in India during WWII. This time period helped solidify Dr. Montessori’s belief in Peace Education.

Resource Color Guide (just like the Montessori hierarchical colors):

ROOKIE Pages (Green) - Aimed toward early to mid level elementary students.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., -(-3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret -3 > -7 as a statement that -3 is located to the right of -7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.
