Strategy Used
Procedure

6.9a: The student applies mathematical process standards

to use equations and inequalities to represent situations.
The student is expected to write one-variable, one-step
equations and inequalities to represent constraints or
conditions within problems.
Students will be able to create one-variable, one-step
equations and inequalities to represent problems with
100% accuracy.
The student will be able to listen to the teacher.
The student will be able to write one-variable and one-step
equations mathematically correct.
The student will be able to use the appropriate math
vocabulary.
The student will be able to talk with the teacher and their
peers.
The student will be able to complete their discussion web
and exit ticket.
Directions
Word Problem: Mark scored 17 of his teams 46 points in a
basketball game on Friday night. Last week, Mark scored 8
of his teams 32 points in a basketball game. His
teammates as a group scored p points on Friday night.
Write an equation to represent this situation for Friday
night.
Exit Tickets
Discussion Web
1. Review the definition of an equation (an equation
represents a relationship between two values).
2. Draw an example discussion web under the elmo or
on the white board and explain how to use a
discussion web.
3. Show students the word problem they will be using
with the discussion web. Let them read over it.
4. The discussion web question will be the word
problem. On one side students will put the relevant
information and on the other side, the irrelevant
information.
5. Have students create their discussion web in their
Math journals and silently, individually work.
6. After 5 minutes or so, have students work in pairs
and share their thoughts on the discussion web.
7. After 5 minutes or so, the pairs will share with the
whole group. The whole group will decide what
information is important and unimportant in this
word problem.

Assessment

8. Students will add information on their discussion web

in their math journals.
9. Finally, students will create an equation and solve for
p.
Exit Tickets
Students will create a one-variable, one-step equation on
their exit ticket.

Exit Ticket
A puppy, Oliver, weighed 6 ounces at birth. Another puppy, Toby, weighed 7.5
ounces at birth. After two weeks, Oliver weighed 14 ounces. After three weeks,
Toby weighed 18 ounces. How much weight did Oliver gain?
Write the relevant information. Write an equation for this situation. Solve your
equation.
