This document is a teacher's lesson plan for teaching students how to solve one-step equations. It includes learning objectives, examples of solving equations step-by-step with explanations, think-pair-share activities where students solve equations individually and then discuss with partners, and homework assignments of word problems requiring students to set up and solve equations. The lesson emphasizes adding or subtracting values from both sides of an equation to isolate the variable.
