A small-group or independent mathematical exploration of the fundamentals of Algebra. This resource creates space for learners to explore the various representations of a situation in the context of Algebra. This activity is used best to offer plenty of practice for learners in order to naturally strengthen the connection between words, graphs, tables and equations within algebraic problems. This will help to strengthen their understanding of and ability to find equations in single variable, proportional relationship word problems. WHAT’S INCLUDED This resource contains: -> A 1-page graphic organizer -> 16 various practice problems -> A template page for creating your own -> An assignable Easel activity STORY Over a few years, I noticed that learners have particular difficulty in bridging the gap between reading a word problem and figuring out the algebraic equation to represent it in the years before Pre-Algebra. I decided that, to match the superhero theme of my classroom, I would attempt to teach Algebra with a metaphorical team of four heroes: words, graphs, tables, and equations. IMPLEMENTATION This resource provides sixteen different Algebraic situations and plenty of practice of the concepts. It should be used only after you have had time to teach additive and multiplicative proportional relationships with specific emphasis on writing equations for them. POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS Continue your student’s exploration of equation and graph correlation with my Equation Graphing Math Challenge product. MATERIALS/PREREQUISITES Besides this resource, you may require: -> Extra Paper or additional problems
