Warm Up Grab an orange warm up sheet and start the warm up

Also Grab your quotes.

1. 12x - 15= 129

2. 2x + 25= 27

Objective

Language objective- Students can explain how to solve single variable equations

Homework CheckAre there any questions about the homework 1-20?

Group work vs. Collaboration

Group work

1 person answers the rest copy

No one discusses, everyone just works by themselves

Students are together but not a team

Collaboration

Everyone is working together

Everyone is on the same problem at the same time

Discussion is happening

If a question arises the student with the question asks the group first before they come to me

Everyone is helping everyone complete the task

Structured Collaboration

Rally Round Robin

Each person will have a turn to answer a given question or problem

The activity can be timed or untimed

If it is timed you must take the whole time to answer your questions.

THE KEY to a structured activity is that everyone participates at least once in the rotation.

Collaboration

Getting into groups should take less than 30 seconds

So lets practice…

Let’s get to know our teammates

Each person will have 45 seconds to answer the following questions

1. What did you do all summer

2. What was your favorite part of the summer (besides sleep)

3. What are you most looking forward to for the year? (aside from graduating)

4. Do you own any pets? What are they?

Round 2

You will have 30 seconds to answer

1. What is your favorite subject ?

2. What is the last movie you saw in theaters?

3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?

In teams work on the grey worksheet

Take the next 7 minutes to work through # 15.

We will check our answers then move to the 3 step equations.

Balancing Equations

Get all the unknowns on 1 side then solve as normal

3x+12 = 5x-16
