Solving Big Equations

Grade 9s are working on equation solving today.

Here’s an example of a solution. We tried some pretty complex problems, involving lots of simplification, and even fractions.

We looked at how to divide fractions, or how to multiply by the denominator to eliminate the fractions…

We also looked at what fractions mean, and how we can represent them

We looked at what a negative fraction means, and realized that it doesn’t really matter where the negative sign is within the fraction.

We’ve got a quiz tomorrow to check our understanding.
