Lesson Overview
Equation An equation is a mathematical statement that says two things are equal.
It is made up of two expressions, one on each side of an equals sign. Example: 3 +
10 = 13, 4+5 = 9, 15 x 3 = 45.
Predict.. 2 minutes
Predict what will happen you have a tape diagram with a large number of
squares. Some of the squares are removed, and then the same amount of squares
are added back on.
A) Expression:
B) Expression:
C) Expression:
Add six squares onto the tape diagram. Re-write the original expression to
represent the current tape diagram.
What effect did removing 6 squares then adding 6 squares have on the number of
squares? Was there any effect?
What if I asked you to add 200 squares to the 10 squares you started with, and
then subtract 200 squares. Do we need to add and remove the squares to know
what the result will be? Why/how do you know?
What do you notice about the expressions we created with the tape diagrams?
Can your group write an equation using variables to represent what we just
demonstrated with tape diagrams?
A) 4 + 5 - ______ = 4
B) 25 - ______ + 10 = 25
C) ______ + 16 16 = 45
D) 56 20 + 20 = _______
A) a + b - _______ = a
B) c d + d = ________
C) e + ________ - f = e
D) ________ - h + h = g
Overview
If we add an amount and then subtract the same amount, does this
change the outcome?
