January 9 - 13

This week in math, we focused on solving equations that involved a letter variable. As a class, we worked through problems on the Smart Board:

Here is the link to the interactive website if you are interested!

Then it was our turn to make an equation using manipulatives! With a partner, we created equations where the larger object represented x and the smaller object was our '1s'. We had to solve our equation and verify the solution. Then, we solved other students' questions in our class

• I can write a problem as an equation with a letter variable. Example:

Same has a bag of candies and he gives 4 to a friend

x - 4 =

• I can show and explain preservation of equality

For example: n - 6 = 4 - 2

            n = 8 

Here are some of the questions we created
