Solving Equations

6.- Solving First degree equations

Watch these two videos (08 & 09) to beggin with simple equations. While watching, take notes in your notebook, Remember that ...

 This is because, as you have learnt, ...

👉Find here the tasksheet AL06 with some activities about solving equations. 👈 After watching the videos you will be able to do the ex: 19, 20 & 21.

👀  Video 08 teaches how to do A19 and Video 09 to A20 and A21

Here you have the lesson to learn how to solve equations with parenthesis.

Remember that when you find brackets in the equation, the first thing you have to do is to remove the brackets by applying the distributy property.

And now you are ready to do the activity A22 of the tasksheet AL6


Find the solutions to e) and n) in these to videos:

Do now this one and check the solution after. I will correct it next week:

Equations with denominators:

Meaningful Questions

 Science grows thanks to good questions even more than due to the answers... 

Frequently, great contributions to Science started with a brainy change of the question focus...

Lets try it in our lessons...

What is a meaningful question? We call Meaningful questions those questions that have interesting aspects of the subject and show that the student has understood the core of the content.

Examples: 

• About powers… Since  a0 = 1 and 0b = 0, what is 00 =?
• About prime numbers… Is it 1 a prime number? Why?
• About HCF and LCM… When the LCM of two or more numbers is equal to one of the numbers? When the HCF is equal to one of the numbers? 

The students can answer the questions or not, the important thing is that they are able to build the question or at less understand why the question is really interesting and can be considered meaningful.

Reformulating meaningful questions. Once the question is found, the student has to be able to rewrite the question using other words or even a complete different formulation but with the same mathematical meaning.

They can reformulate their own questions or their classmates' questions. 

The simpler, the better the question is.
