01
Introduction to Solving Linear Equations
Set the goal for the lesson: isolate a variable efficiently using balance and inverse operations, handle fractions/decimals, and recognize special solution cases—all in SAT style.
02
Balance & Inverse Operations: One- and Two-Step Equations
Review the balance principle and inverse operations to solve one- and two-step linear equations cleanly while avoiding common sign slips.
03
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Balance & Inverses
Quick practice on isolating variables with inverse operations to reinforce the core solving engine.
04
Distribution and Collecting Like Terms Before Solving
Practice distributing (including negatives) and combining like terms to prepare an equation for efficient isolation.
05
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Distribute & Collect
Short mixed questions testing proper distribution and term collection before solving.
06
Clearing Fractions and Decimals Strategically
Use the least common multiple or place-value scaling to clear fractions/decimals without changing the solution set.
07
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Clearing Fractions/Decimals
Rapid checks on multiplying both sides to eliminate fractions/decimals and finish the solve.
08
Variables on Both Sides: Move Terms and Isolate
Solve equations with variables on both sides by collecting variable terms to one side and constants to the other.
09
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Both Sides
Targeted practice moving variable and constant terms correctly and solving accurately.
10
Special Cases: No Solution vs. Infinitely Many Solutions
Diagnose identities and contradictions (e.g., 0=0 or 0=5) to determine when equations have no solution or infinitely many solutions.
11
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Special Cases
Decide the solution type quickly from simplified forms and justify the conclusion.
12
Parameterized Coefficients: Conditions for Solutions
Work with parameters in linear equations and find the values that yield one, none, or infinitely many solutions.
13
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Parameters & Conditions
Mini problems that require identifying parameter conditions and solving accordingly.
14
Modeling Mini-Contexts: Writing and Solving Linear Equations
Translate short word prompts (age, rate, budget) into linear equations and solve with units and reasonableness checks.
15
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ - Context to Equation
Fast conversions from context to equation to solution, mirroring SAT timing and phrasing.
16
