  2. Evaluating Student Responses Take turns to work through a student’s work. Explain the work to your partner. Listen carefully to explanations. Ask questions if you don’t understand. Once you are both satisfied with the explanations, correct mistakes and make any improvements to the work.

  3. Sample Student Work: Amy

  4. Sample Student Work: Laura

  5. The Story of x Amy’s equation:

  6. Sample Student Work: Rob

  7. Working Together: Building and Checking Equations Make up your own value for x! To build an equation use each of the four operations: +, −, , and  and four different integers. Make sure the order of the operations is different for each equation. Use substitution to check that each step is correct. Write your finished equations at the top of the sheet Solving Equations.

  8. Working Together: Solving Equations Ask your partner to solve your two equations.Help your partner if they get stuck. If your partner’s answers are different from yours, ask for an explanation. If you still don’t agree, explain your own thinking. It is important that you both agree on the answers. Check also to see if the steps used to solve the equation are the reverse of the steps used to build the equation. If they are not, try to figure out why.
