2. 8 th grade Algebra Class Linear equations with one, or more variables Demonstrate in class, non-linear powerpoint will be used as a resource to assist learners outside of class Absent students benefit Reflection from students the next day

3. Common Core Math Standards CCSS.Math.Content.8.EE.C.7 Solve linear equations in one variable. CCSS.Math.Content.8.EE.C.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. (Intro to) CCSS.Math.Content.8.EE.C.8b Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.

6. Variables is a lot like a box, and it exists to contain a value. Sometimes the value is already inside the box, and you have to figure out what that value is. Other times, the box is empty, and you get to pick the value to put inside. Remember when you were in elementary school, and you were learning your addition? The teacher would hand you worksheets that said things like: (?) + 2 = 5 ; fill in the ?. The ? Plays as a variable, and can be expressed in almost any form, usually letters, especially x, y, and z.

9. Step 1: Locate the variable Step 2: Determine what needs to be done to isolate the variable from the number on the other side of the “=“ Step 3: Compute the arithmetic needed to isolate variable Step 4: Make sure variable stands alone, and equals something I’m getting closer, show me! Whoa! What’s a variable? Got it! Let’s move on to two variable linear equationsGot it! Let’s move on to two variable linear equations! HomeTOCLinear equations with two variables

10. Using the example, x+2=7 Step 1: locate the variable X is the variable, we will be solving for x Step 2: determine what needs to be done in order to isolate the variable We need to get rid of the (+2) Step 3: Do the arithmetic needed to isolate variable, remember, what you do to one side of the equation, you MUST do to the other! X+2=7 -2=-2 X=5 Step 4: Make sure variable stands alone and equals something Check! Practice solving for linear equations with one variable HomeTOCLinear equations with two variables

11. Now that you are comfortable with one variable linear equations, we will deal with two variable linear equations. Very similar but this time, the equation will have two variables Don’t panic, one variable will have a value!
