Free 6th Grade One Step And Two Step Equations Lesson Plan (Math)

Topic: One step and two step equations

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to solve one step and two step equations using reverse substitution.
• Students will be able to identify and write equations that represent given situations.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Worksheets with exercises on one step and two step equations
• Calculators

Warm-up

• Review the concept of equations and how to solve them by replacing the unknown with a number that makes the equation true.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of one step and two step equations.
• One step equations are equations that have one unknown and one operation. They are solved by performing the operation on one side of the equation and then solving for the unknown on the other side.
• Two step equations are equations that have two unknowns and two operations. They are solved by first solving for one unknown using one of the operations, and then solving for the other unknown using the other operation and the first unknown.
• Provide examples of one step and two step equations using manipulatives or equations written on the board.
• Demonstrate how to solve each type of equation using manipulatives or by typing the equations into a calculator.

exploratory

• Have students work in pairs to solve one step and two step equations on index cards or worksheets.
• Provide support and guidance as needed.

consolidation

• Have students work in small groups to solve one step and two step equations on whiteboards or large sheets of paper.
• Provide support and guidance as needed.

assessment

• Have students work independently to solve one step and two step equations on whiteboards or large sheets of paper.
• Provide support and guidance as needed.

Closure

• Review the concept of one step and two step equations and the importance of solving them.
• Ask students to share their solutions to the one step and two step equations they solved.

Assessment

• Observe students during independent practice to see if they are accurately solving one step and two step equations.
• Have students turn in their solutions to the one step and two step equations they solved during independent practice.
• Use a checklist to evaluate students' solutions and assess their understanding of one step and two step equations.
