What would a pre and post assessment look like for the following lessons?

Lesson 1:

Unit Topic: Algebra - Solving Linear Equations

Standards:MA 11.2.2.d Perform operations on rational expressions (add, subtract, multiply, divide, and simplify)

This sequence of three lessons is designed to help students understand how to solve linear equations, addressing both basic and more advanced concepts as the lessons progress.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Linear Equations

• Objective: Students will understand what a linear equation is and how to solve basic linear equations (e.g., 2x+3=72x + 3 = 72x+3=7).
• Activities:
  • Interactive lecture on the definition of a linear equation.
  • Examples of solving simple one-step and two-step linear equations.
  • Classwork: Solving equations individually and in pairs.

Lesson 2:

Unit Topic: Solving Multi-Step Equations

Standards:MA 11.2.2.h Analyze and solve systems of two linear equations and inequalities in two variables algebraically and graphically.

• Objective: Students will learn to solve multi-step equations involving parentheses and fractions.
• Activities:
  • Review of distributive property and combining like terms.
  • Practice problems involving multi-step equations.
  • Class discussion on the importance of checking solutions.

Lesson 3:

Unit Topic: Solving Word Problems Using Linear Equations

Solving Multi-Step Equations

Standards:MA 11.2.1 All Standards within Algebraic Relationships: Students will demonstrate, represent, and show relationships with functions.

• Objective: Students will apply their knowledge of linear equations to solve word problems.
• Activities:
  • Group activity: Solving word problems that can be modeled by linear equations.
  • Real-life examples (e.g., calculating the cost of items with tax).
  • Exit ticket: Solve a real-world problem using linear equations.
