Algebra: Linear Equations
Solving Equations Model a given problem with a linear equation; and solve the equation, using concrete models, e.g., counters, integer tiles.
Verify the solution to a given linear equation, using a variety of methods, including concrete materials, diagrams and substitution. Draw a visual representation of the steps used to solve a given linear equation, and record each step symbolically. Solve a given linear equation symbolically. Identify and correct an error in a given incorrect solution of a linear equation. Apply the distributive property to solve a given linear equation; e.g., 2(x + 3) = 5 is equivalent to 2x + 6 = 5. Solve a given problem, using a linear equation, and record the process. |
Graphing Equations Determine the missing value in an ordered pair for a given equation.
Create a table of values by substituting values for a variable in the equation of a given linear relation. Construct a graph from the equation of a given linear relation (limited to discrete data). Describe the relationship between the variables of a given graph. |
