Solving Equations

In class the grade 6's have been learning how to solve simple algebraic equations. We have learned about the difference between a constant and a variable, and how to use the inverse operation to solve for an unknown variable.

This is the presentation that we watched in class to help us better understand what an equation is and how to solve one.

Here is an Educreation slide I made to help explain to students how to go about solving for unknown variables. We haven't watched this yet, so it would be helpful to review at home if your child is having difficulty with this week's homework.
