Unit 4 Lesson 7Objective:• Students will explore the equal sign and its relationship to two values. • Students will understand that performing the same operation on both

sides of the equal sign is necessary for solving equations with variables.• Students will use inverse operations to solve one-step algebraic

equations

Let’s review our vocabulary!

True/False• Variable 7b + 9

• Term 6 + 9b - u

• Coefficient 7(8+7)=56+49

• Constant 17b + 17

• Pattern 2,4,5,6,8,10…

• Distributive property8+(3+2)=(8+3)+2

• Commutative property 9+3=3+9

• Expression z Objective: Students will practice working independently on equations from

lessons 3-6

Today’s Investigation: Equality in the

Balance

Today we are going to use our balances to help us write balanced algebraic equations. The most important goal for today is that the scale must balance
