Use this activity for worked examples for ratios and proportions. Correctly worked examples and partially solved worked examples benefit students so that they can understand strategy.
This game is a fun way to give students opportunities to choose and use different basic transformations to start solving equations.
There are two versions of this routine with systems of linear equations—choosing different strategies (e.g., Use Tables or Use Graphs) and making choices within a strategy (e.g., For which variable will I substitute? Or Which variables will I eliminate?).
In this activity, students connect comparing numbers presented as sets of objects to your current grade-level content. This excerpt includes the material list and discussion points.
In this activity, students connect composing and decomposing a 10 to your current grade-level content. Material list and discussion points included.
