Description
This Math Menu of Solving Multi-Step Algebraic Equations with Variables on Both Sides folds into a booklet and offers student choice in choosing the questions they will complete. The Menu Sections are as follows: Beverage (6 multiple choice to choose from), Appetizer (4 show your work questions to choose from), Main Course (4 word problems to choose from), and Dessert (5 True or False to choose from)! Students will complete the amount stated in each section. For example, the “Dessert” section states to complete 4 questions out of the 5 provided. Student choice gives students a sense of ownership and responsibility for the questions they are choosing and they will tend to choose questions based on their level of understanding, which also makes it an easy differentiation tool and easy grading for the teacher. Not to mention, this assignment would look awesome on a bulletin board!
In this assignment, students will practice:
•Solving Equations using inverse operations
•Using Substitution to check
•Using distributive property and combining like terms
•Moving variables to one side
•Writing Equations with variables on both sides
•Practice with rational numbers
What’s included:
•Menu Cover Page (Optional to use)
•Full Color Option
•Answer Key
How to print as a book:
Option 1:
I suggest printing the cover page separate (or you can choose to not have a cover page). Print the Menu sections using the double-sided option. Be sure to select the option to flip page along “shorter edge side” since the menu is in landscape. Once printed, place menu inside of cover sheet and staple along the in-seam to hold together.
Option 2:
Print the pages and have students cut the pages in half and order pages (Beverage-pg. 1, Appetizer-pg. 2, Main Course-pg. 3, Dessert-pg. 4) to form the menu. Pages can then be stapled on the top left corner.
Option 3:
Print and Go Option! Have students just work on the sections as is. Print double-sided to save paper. No need to print the cover.
How to use this Assignment:
•Bulletin Board
•Homework
•Review Assignment
•Classwork Assignment
•Class Portfolio
•Differentiate among leveled learners- ex. Change the number of questions required for your student needs or have some students complete ALL.
