Grade 8 - Patterns and Relations
Standard 8.PR.2 - Practice solving one step linear equations.
Included Skills: Algebra
Model and solve problems concretely, pictorially and symbolically, using linear equations of the form: • ax = b where a, b and c are integers. • x/a = b, a ≠ 0 where a, b and c are integers. • ax + b = c where a, b and c are integers. • x/a + b = c, a ≠ 0 where a, b and c are integers. • a(x + b) = c where a, b and c are integers. • Model a given problem with a linear equation; and solve the equation, using concrete models, e.g., counters, integer tiles. • Verify the solution to a given linear equation, using a variety of methods, including concrete materials, diagrams and substitution. • Draw a visual representation of the steps used to solve a given linear equation, and record each step symbolically. • Solve a given linear equation symbolically. • Identify and correct an error in a given incorrect solution of a linear equation. • Apply the distributive property to solve a given linear equation; e.g., 2(x + 3) = 5 is equivalent to 2x + 6 = 5. • Solve a given problem, using a linear equation, and record the process.
