Álgebra práctica: lecciones 4 a 7 (nivel B)

***Students MUST have participated in Hands-On Algebra Lessons 1-3 (or a Hands-On Equations Level 1 course - please message me if this is the case) to join this class.***

This interactive and engaging class builds on what students learned in Lessons 1-3, expanding equations to include negative variables.

This 4-class course uses a hands-on approach that allows learners to develop a solid foundation of basic algebraic concepts.  In each lesson, students will use manipulatives that they have gathered around the home (no need to buy special math kits, yay!) to set up and solve algebraic equations.  After finding a solution, students will learn how to check their work for accuracy.  Students will begin with simple equations with a single variable and work their way up to solving complex equations.

Class 1 (Lesson 4): Solving Equations with Negative Variables & Making Zero Pairs

Class 2 (Lesson 5): Solving Equations with Negative Variables by Removing Zero Pairs

Class 3 (Lesson 6): Solving Equations with Negative Variables by Adding Pawns

Class 4 (Lesson 7): Solving Equations with Negative Variables by Adding Zero Pairs

Learners will be provided with resources that will need to be printed out for each class.  

The materials required for full participation in the class are the same as Lessons 1-3 with some additional items:
-8 identical small objects (same color, same size) from around the house (suggestions: chess pawns, checkers, uncooked tri-color pasta (choose two colors), bobby pins, Lego blocks, cotton balls)
-8 identical small objects of a different color than the first 8 objects
-black number cards (A-10) pulled from a deck of playing cards
