Facts / Characteristics
An equation is a mathematical statement that shows that two expressions are equal.
Always has one equal sign.
The left side is equivalent to the right side.
Some equations have 0, 1, 2 or more solutions.
Some equations are algebraic models for relationships (graphical & numeric models).
3x – 2 = 4x + 7 (linear)
ab = ba (identity)
A = lw (formula)
5 + 6 = 11 (numeric)
x = 3 (value)
2x + 3y (expression)
Perimeter (word)
x < y (inequality)
3 (number)

Question Development
• select an expectation of your choice.• develop up to 4 questions related to this
expectation.Each question focuses on the concept, a
procedure, or a process. • explain what it is about the question that
justifies its focus.
Post questions on chart paper.

Home Activity
“Do you think that by asking questions with different focuses, you are supporting differentiated instruction (DI)?”
Explain.
Write a journal response.
