Grade 8 - Patterns and Relations
Standard 8.PR.2 - Practice solving one step linear equations.
Included Skills: Algebra
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.
