Lesson Plan: One-step Equations: Multiplication and Division Mathematics • 6th Grade
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to write and solve one-step multiplication and division equations in ℕ and ℤ.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- deduce the multiplication property of equality, which states that when multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number, the equation stays balanced,
- deduce the division property of equality, which states that when dividing both sides of an equation by the same number, the equation stays balanced,
- know that solving a one-step equation means finding the unknown value to make the statement true,
- solve one-step equations in and .
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the properties of operations in and ,
- variables and constants.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- equations with more than one solution,
- equations with more than one unknown,
- solving equations of the second or third degree.
