Solving Algebraic Equations and Inequalities

1
Solving Algebraic Equations and Inequalities
SAMPLE

• By Stacey Heller
• Jamestown Middle School
• Guilford County, NC

2
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS

• Students will choose problems from the Problem
  Bank.
• For example
• p 3 5

3
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS

• Students will then explain HOW to solve that
  equation.
• Using the subtraction property of equality,
  subtract 3 from each side of the equation
• p 3 3 5 - 3

4
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS
Next, simplify the equation by subtracting 3 from
3, and 3 from 5 p 3 3 5 3 (Subtraction
Property of Equality) p 0 2
(Simplifying/Identity Property of Addition) p
2 (Solution)
5
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC INEQUALITIES

• Students will continue in the same vain through
  the next few slides, using inequalities from the
  Problem Bank.

6
SOLVING ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS and INEQUALITIES

• In the next few slides, students will
• Write a word problem, an algebraic equation to go
  with it, and solve the equation.
• Write a word problem, an algebraic inequality to
  go with it, and solve the inequality.
• Write 2 word problems (1 equation and 1
  inequality) to be solved by classmates/audience.

7
POWER POINT PROJECT

• Students need to keep in mind that
• Directions (text) should be written out clearly
  (thats the objective)
• Text should be easy to read from the appropriate
  display location (monitor, TV, etc.)
• Project should include appropriate graphics,
  animation, sounds, fonts, and colors and should
  be creative!

Good luck with your class

• Enjoy your students presentations
• Let your students be creative
• Enjoy the fact that you helped them reach this
  level of understanding
