Math Is a Big Joke Algebra Style! Solving One-Step Equations Word Problems
In this one time meeting we will focus on solving one-step word problem equations (including examples with negatives). A decoder puzzle with a funny (maybe corny) joke will be used to reinforce these skills.

Integers are everywhere! The more students are comfortable with adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing them, the easier it will be to perform skills such as: solving equations, evaluating formulas, or finding slope of a line. In this class, we will spend 5-15 minutes reviewing inverse operations and key words to help us identify the operation to use to solve a problem. We will then spend the remainder of class solving a decoder puzzle (The Math Teacher in the Ice and Snow) I am a firm believer in giving students think time, so time will be given for students to work independently before we share answers as a group. Instruction will be provided as needed, but students should have a basic understanding of how to add, subtract, multiply and divide before taking this class.
Learning Goals
By the end of the lesson, students will have reviewed:
-operations with integers
-inverse operations
-math vocabulary

I LOVE math! I love finding creative and interesting ways to deliver instruction while helping students build their math sense. After 25 years of teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 to students with a variety of skill levels, including 5 years teaching online to students learning from home, I feel uniquely qualified to provide learners with the tools they need to become masters of mathematics!Reviews
