Operations in Word Problems. Rewrite the following word problems as expressions and simplify.
There are 627 people currently waiting in line at Target to purchase the PS4 game Destiny. Another 32
people are in line to at the Wal-Mart down the street. Game Stop has two hundred eighty-one people in
line. How many people are there in the first two lines?
The school library bought one hundred fifty-six new books last year. They bought thirty-six new books
this year. 74 of the books were fiction. What is the difference between the number of books they bought
last year and this year?
A broken scale reads 11 inches. Kathy uses the broken scale to measure the length of a rope. She finds
the length of the rope is 113 times the length of the broken scale. Find the length of the rope.
The YES Prep took a field trip to see the Dynamos play. For the safety of the kids, each teacher was
responsible for 24 kids. If 336 kids participated, how many teachers participated?

Order of Operations.
In order to make sure that we all get the same answers, all people who use math have agreed to use our
primary operations in a certain order. We remember that order using GEMDAS.

Calculation
Explanation
Objective :
SWBAT simplify expressions and
perform inverse operations to solve
for a variable
Agenda
Do First (4 minutes) and Discussion (3 minutes) (7 minutes total)
Key Ideas (5 minutes)
Inverse Operations and One-Step Equations (18 minutes)
Isolation the Variable, Coefficient of 1, and Two-Step Equations (30
minutes)
Key Ideas
1. Sometimes, we need to find an unknown
number. We call an unknown number a
variable. We usually represent variables with
letters (a, b, c,x, y, z). The most commonly
used variable in algebra is x.
2. An expression that contains an unknown
number (a variable) that we must find: an
equation.
(Ex:
x
=4 )

Inverse Operations. Identify the operation being performed on the variable in each expression. Then,
identify that operations inverse.

1. Linear functions are helpful because they allow
us to relate our inputs to our outputs. In other
words, if I put x amount of something into a
function machine, I will get y amount of
something else out of it.
2. Linear functions are one of the foundational
elements of all higher math. They can be very
useful as well.

4. What is one set of inputs and outputs in your life that you could express using a linear function?
