Grade 7: Linear Equations 2

The "Algebra Tiles Practice" includeds question generators for various linear equations. Select "ax = b" and "x/a = b" to generate one-step multiplying/dividiing examples. You may use the virtual tiles provided to generate a solution. The step buttons provided on the right show sample solutions as well.

Let's study how these tiles can be used to solve equations.

explain how to solve simpler multiplication and division linear equation problems, using informal algebraic methods.

Students should be encouraged to solve problems by looking for patterns that involve words, pictures, manipulatives, and number descriptions. These situations naturally lead to the use of variables and informal algebra in solving problems.

solve and verify one-step multiplication and division linear equations, using a variety of techniques.

Solving Linear Equations with Tiles

There are several example solutions using algebra tiles given in the "Examples".

Let's study how these tiles can be used to solve equations.
