Description

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on solving single variable equations (8.EE.7b) for 8th grade using the Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.

 

This lesson includes the following materials:

  • Description of how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces in my own classroom.
  • Suggested Lesson Introduction Script
  • 11 Full-Size Task Cards on solving single-variable equations
  • Answers for all Task Cards
  • "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template
  • Student Notes answer key
  • "Check Your Understanding" student Exit Ticket
  • Exit Ticket answer key

 

This lesson will help your students learn how to solve single-variable equations using combining like terms and the distributive property, encourages rich math discussion, and introduces various strategies for solving equations. This lesson starts with a very low floor to encourage access for all students, and provides a high ceiling with extension questions. Once complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products in my EZMath store. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.

If you would like to know more about how I use Building Thinking Classrooms in my own class, check out my blog.

Thank you for your interest in my products!
