Teach students to solve equality word problems using a clear 3-step process with these solving equality number problems teaching slides. Students work through understand, solve and check to read a word problem, identify key words, write a number sentence and find the missing part needed to balance both sides.
What's included:
Introductory slides explaining the understand, solve and check process
Detailed breakdown slides for each step
2 fully worked examples with step-by-step slides, showing key words identified in the word problem, a strategy chosen, the number sentence balanced and the answer checked using an alternative strategy
Hive members also have access to the Balance Scale app, which lets students represent the missing part of a word problem on a virtual scale and test different numbers until both sides balance.
