Grade 8 - Patterns and Relations

Standard 8.PR.2 - Practice solving one step linear equations.

Included Skills:

Model and solve problems using linear equations of the form:
• ax = b
• x/a = b, a ≠ 0
• ax + b = c
• x/a + b = c, a ≠ 0
• a(x + b) = c
concretely, pictorially, and symbolically, where a, b, and c, are integers.

• Model a problem with a linear equation, and solve the equation using concrete models.
• Verify the solution to a linear equation using a variety of methods, including concrete materials, diagrams, and substitution.
• Draw a visual representation of the steps used to solve a linear equation, and record each step symbolically.
• Solve a linear equation symbolically.
• Identify and correct errors in an incorrect solution of a linear equation.
• Solve a linear equation by applying the distributive property [e.g., 2(x + 3) = 5; 2x + 6 = 5; ...].
• Solve a problem using a linear equation, and record the process.
