Lesson Topic / Title: Solving multi-step equations

Lesson Date: 11-17-20 Lesson Length: 15 minutes Grade/Age: 10th Grade

Learning Objectives & Content Standard Alignment - Selects, creates, and sequences learning
experiences and performance tasks that support learners in reaching rigorous curriculum goals
based on content standards.
Learning Objective(s) Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
Student(s) will be able to solve multi-step equations and - To build on the previous
explain each step they will take to solve. lesson the student will solve
multi-step equations

Content Standard(s) Instructional Decisions / Reasoning

Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning - The teacher will be able to

and explain the reasoning. (CCSS HSA.REI.A) assess what the students
understand based on their
reasoning.

Assessment - Uses assessment flexibly to expand and deepen understanding of learner performance
and determines best supports for continued learner growth.
Assessment Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- 2-3 Solving two-step equations - To complete this lesson the
students will turn in/
complete this practice sheet

Instructional Materials and Resources - Stays current in content knowledge and expands expertise in
reviewing instructional materials from the perspectives of both the discipline and individual learner
needs.
Materials, Resources, and / or Technology Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- To complete calculations and
- Calculator do quick multiplication and
- Computer division the student(s) will
- Pencil need a calculator.
- They will need their computer
if they choose to do the
assignment online.
- A pencil for writing down their
answers.
Instructional Methods: Selects, creates, and sequences learning experiences and performance tasks
by using a variety of instructional approaches, strategies, and technologies that make learning
accessible to all learners and support learners in reaching rigorous curriculum goals.
Teaching and Learning Sequence Instructional Decisions / Reasoning
- Review 2-2 one step equations, explain that we - Activate prior knowledge and
will build upon that one step and do two steps build upon previously taught
- Write out on the board two examples of one step material/content
equations, (X - 4 = 8) (-2 + X = 5) - This will get the students
- Have the students solve each equation and ready to take on multi-step
explain each step. equations
- Explain that for this next lesson nothing has - By doing the first problem step
changed in how the problem is done, there is just by step for them they can see
an extra step. It is the same type of problem but what is expected of them and
now we have to divide or multiply. how to solve each problem
- Begin to introduce 2-3 solving multi-step - The next problems they will
equations have to explain how to solve
- Complete the first question doing out them and by doing this they
each step and explaining why you are can grasp the material
subtracting and then dividing - They teacher also can assess if
- For the next question start the problem the students are
for the students and then ask them what understanding the lesson.
the next step is.
- For the rest of the problems write them on the
board and have the students tell you each step
- Answer any questions that the students may have

Meeting students’ needs (differentiation, extensions, Instructional Decisions / Reasoning

modifications, accommodations)
- Hard copy of assignment - If the students prefer the
paper copy they have this
option

Reflection
Teaching Standards and Rationale
Standard 4 (Content Knowledge) 4(d)​, Stimulates student reflection on prior
content knowledge, links new concepts to familiar concepts, and makes connections
to learners’ experiences.
Standard 1 (Learner Development) 1(a)​, Regularly assesses individual and group
performance in order to design and modify instruction to meet learners’ needs in
each area of development (cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical) and
scaffolds the next level of development.
