The document provides goals and instructions for a lesson on using algebra tiles and inverse operations to solve equations. The three main goals are to: 1) Create equivalent expressions, 2) Solve equations using inverse operations on algebra tiles, and 3) Represent solving equations step-by-step using tiles. Students are instructed to work with partners to solve example equations using tiles and algebra, and explain their process. A quiz study guide reviews simplifying expressions, writing equations from balance scales, and achieving the day's goals.

1. Equations

2. Algebra Tiles

3. Goals for Today:
1) We should be able to create multiple equivalent
expressions when given one expression
2) We should be able to solve equations with
Algebra Tiles using inverse operations.
3) We should be able to represent each step of
solving equations using Algebra Tiles

15. With your shoulder partner:
Find the solution to the following problems.
1) Show each step with Algebra Tiles and with Algebraic equations
2)Explain how you isolated the variable and how you found the
value for x.
𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒑 𝟏: 𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟔 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒑 𝟓: 𝟔 = 𝟒 + 𝒙
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 2: 𝑥 − 6 = 10 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 6: 2 − 𝑥 = 7
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 3: 3 − x = 10 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 7: 𝑥 + 5 = 3
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 4: 4 = 2 + 𝑥 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝 8: 1 − 𝑥 = 8

16. Quiz Study Guide:
1) simplify expressions with terms that include
variables, variables to a power (𝒙 𝟐), and
constants
2) write an equation represented on a balance
scale.
3) All goals for today

17. Solving Equations
1)Isolate the Variable using Inverse Operations
2) If necessary, use more inverse operations to find the
value of the variable
2𝑥 + 1 = 5
