Unit 4 Equations – 10 days

1	4.1 Solve Simple Equations	Solve one and two step equations. Student complete examples in class with and without algebra tiles. H.W. Pg. 193 #1-9 eol	Algebra Tiles & Balance Scale. Computer Algebra System (TI-Nspire)
2	Using Pentominoes to Solve Problems	Challenge: Fit a pentomino on the number chart so that a particular sum is achieved. First method: guess and check. Second method: generate equations to determine the location of the pentomino.This can be completed in pairs. After demonstrating the method, can have a class relay to see which group can solve the most problems. HW. Complete the worksheet (given out in class)	PentominoesNumber Chart from 1 to 100
	4.2 Solving Multi-Step Equations (2 days)	Solve equations with variables on both sides of the equation. Solve equations with variables on both sides of the equation. H.W. pg. 200 #1-4, 13 Continue to work on solving equations. HW. pg. 201 #5,6,9.	Projector
	4.3 Solving Equations Involving Fractions	Solve equations with fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the lowest common denominator to eliminate the fractions. H.W. pg. 208 # EQAO problems
