Solving One-Step Equations

This WebQuest focuses on solving one-step equations.


Objectives: The students will be able to


1. Identify inverse properties.


2. Write sentences as equations.


3. Solve one-step linear equations in one variable with strategies involving inverse operations and integers.


4. Solve practical problems requiring the solution of a one-step linear equation.
