Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: combining like terms and the distributive property (7.EE.A.1); solving two-step equations (7.EE.B.4a); operations with negative numbers and fractions (7.NS.A).
Key vocabulary: variable, coefficient, like terms, distributive property, one solution, no solution, infinitely many solutions.
Warm-up idea: Show a balance-scale picture with unknown bags on both sides and ask what moves keep it balanced.
Exit ticket idea: Students solve one equation with variables on both sides and classify a second as one, none or infinitely many solutions.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
