Solving Linear Equations

Mastery Algebra for 9th graders

Linear Equations are polynomials where the highest degree of x is one. They can also be described as equations which are straight lines when they are graphed. Forms of linear equations include point-slope, standard and slope intercept.

Students will learn how to graph linear equations, and solve for the variables that are included in them. This type of problem is really relevant to the students because there are many real life situations that can be modeled by linear equations.

Here is a title page and short introduction to my unit:

This is a list of resources that I used for the Unit Plan.

This is a paper on the development of solving linear equations as students move from kindergarten to high school.

Technology that can be incorporated in this unit.

Lesson 1 - Using Scales and Manipulatives to solve One Step Equations

Lesson 2 - Solving Two Step Linear Equations

Lesson 3 - Solving Inequalities and Graphing on a Number Line

Lesson 4 - Understanding Inequalities

Lesson 5 - Nickel and Quarter Equation Activity

Here are a few of the worksheets that I had my students complete select problems from during this unit:
