Lesson 1: Working with Equations

• Formation of equations from word problems:

• Identifying the unknown

• Simple equation formation for adding and subtracting questions

• Equation formation (times a number)

• Equation formation (all four operations)

• Equation formation (consecutive events)

Lesson 2: Working with More Complex Equations

• Two methods of solving

  • Examples using each method

• Equation solving diagram (ESD)

• Techniques for solving equations with fractions

• Lowest Common Multiple (LCM)

• Solving complex equations

  • Examples with 2 equivalent fractions

Here are a few sample questions for you to practice. The answers are given at the end.
