This document provides an introduction to linear equations for 6th grade mathematics. It discusses key concepts like equality, equations, linear equations involving one variable, and properties of equations. Examples of forming equations from statements and vice versa are provided. Methods for solving different types of linear equations are described, including transposing terms to one side and using properties of equations. Learning objectives focus on understanding concepts like equality and equations, solving one-variable linear equations, and representing word problems with equations. Learning outcomes emphasize solving systems of linear equations and translating between real-world situations and algebraic representations.
