Lesson Plan: 7.EE - Expressions and Equations

Duration:

30 Minutes

Grade Level:

7th Grade Mathematics

---

Objectives

• Understand the properties of operations with numbers and variables.
• Analyze and solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable.
• Apply the concepts of algebra to real-world problems.

---

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Graphing paper
• Handouts with practice problems
• Calculators (optional)

---

Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin with a brief review of what expressions and equations are.
• Discuss the importance of understanding how to manipulate expressions and solve equations in real-life situations.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

• Introduce the concept of evaluating expressions using the Order of Operations (PEMDAS).
• Explain how to combine like terms and distribute equations.
• Demonstrate how to solve a linear equation using an example on the whiteboard:
  • Example: Solve (2x + 3 = 11)

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

• Work through a few sample problems together as a class:
  1. (5x - 7 = 18)
  2. (3(x + 4) = 24)
• Encourage students to ask questions and provide assistance as needed.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

• Hand out a worksheet with a mix of expression evaluations and linear equations to solve.
• Allow students to work independently, circulating to answer questions.

Homework Assignment

Instructions: Complete the following problems for homework. Show all your work.

Problems

1. Evaluate (4(3 + 5) - 10).
2. Solve the equation: (7x + 2 = 30).
3. Simplify the expression: (6y - 2y + 3y).
4. Solve the inequality: (3x - 5 < 10).

Homework Answers

1. Problem 1:

   • (4(3 + 5) - 10 = 4(8) - 10 = 32 - 10 = 22)

2. Problem 2:

   • (7x + 2 = 30)
   • (7x = 28)
   • (x = 4)

3. Problem 3:

   • (6y - 2y + 3y = 7y)

4. Problem 4:

   • (3x - 5 < 10)
   • (3x < 15)
   • (x < 5)
