//ENGAGING STUDENTS with ALGEBRA TEXT!// with Phillip Solis
=== Hello everyone, and welcome to my wiki! Today we are going to explore __//solving linear equations with the variable on each side//__. This topic is covered quite thoroughly in //California Algebra 1: Concepts, Skills and Problem Solving// in Section 2-5, but its approach is very abrupt and does not allow for a lot of exploration by the student. In three pages, students are given essentially four examples of solving linear equations with variables on both sides, written out step by step, before they are asked to complete a list of exercises. === === === === To supplement the text, below are three strategies that teachers and students can utilize to stimulate student interest in the material and give students a new means of interacting with the material.
