In this 60 minute course, students will master their skills in solving one-step and two-step equations. Mastery of this skill will rapidly improve students' math fluency and prepare them for success in future high school mathematics courses.

Concepts Covered:
Specifically, students will learn and practice the following:
*Solving one-step equations
*Solving two-step equations
*Interpreting answers
*Checking solutions to confirm accuracy

Recommended For:
This course is recommended for students currently taking Pre-Algebra. In addition, this course may serve as advanced preparation for students currently taking Accelerated Math 7 or who students in Algebra 1 who are seeking a refresher of their skills.

Collaborative Learning:
This course will utilize collaborative learning, a set of structures that encourages students to communicate at a high-level while ensuring equal participation and simultaneous interaction. Communication among classmates is a hallmark of collaborative learning. In a traditional classroom, students work alone and are asked to be quiet unless prompted. Only the teacher or a single student is speaking at a given time. With collaborative learning, however, students use language to ask and answer questions, ask for and offer help, explain ideas and opinions, and positively encourage their peers. Research studies have consistently demonstrated that the use of collaborative learning leads to improvements in motivation, empathy, internal locus of control, self-esteem, and a love of learning.
