Lesson Plan: Objective: For students to solve equations using with one variable using only addition and subtraction.

Day 1:  1. Students will watch the BrainPop video as a class to introduce the topic of solving equations with one variable.  2. As a class we will work through the practice quiz.  3. Students will then follow through the PowerPoint lesson that introduces how to solve equations that only involve addition and subtraction. Students will be required to do problems of their own at the end.  4. Students will start the worksheet attached and whatever is not finished is homework. Point out to students that they can visit a [|re-teaching website] at home if they forget what to do on the homework.

Day 2:  1. P.O.D (problem of the day) students will work individually to complete the following problems in their binders:

1. B + 7 = 12 2. 9 + D = 20 3. F – 6 = 4

 2. Go over homework answers. Have the document broadcasted onto a whiteboard or Interactive Board and allow students to come up to the board and write their answers. If students do not agree with their classmates answer, have them show their work and see if the class can point out where the error was made.  3. Have students go to the computer lab and go to the [|math-play] website where they can play a basketball game that requires them to solve a one step equation dealing with addition/subtraction in order to shoot a basket.

Day 3:  1. Start class with the online [|speed drill] where students must answer problems quicker and mentally. The film is 5:42, but you can pause between problems if students need more time to compute each problem.  2. Give students a test on solving one step equations using only addition and subtraction.
