This document discusses resources for teaching a lesson on solving two-step equations to grades 7-8. It provides rationales for using technology to engage students and help those who learn in different ways. Several online resources are presented, including Khan Academy videos, blogs, podcasts, and interactive apps and games to help students practice solving two-step equations visually and interactively. It also lists websites with lessons, activities, and practice problems to support student understanding of this algebra topic.

1. Two Step Equations
Intended for grades 7-8
By Dana Zambelletti

2. Technology Integration
• Rationale
– Algebra is a topic that students will be dealing with
throughout high school, and it is important that they
understand it. Solving equations can be tricky,
especially when it comes to multi-step equations, so it
is helpful to have a step by step approach to guide
students through the process.
– By using technology, we can reach a broader range of
students. Students learn in all different ways so having
multiple outlets available can help tremendously.

3. Website Reliability
• The websites used in this presentation have
been thoroughly examined for usefulness and
reliability.
• The websites are also hyperlinked throughout
the presentation for reference.

4. Khan Academy Video
• This video
demonstrates how to
do a two step equation,
and gives students a
more visual way to look
at it.

5. Blog
• This blog would be a useful resource. It
provides different tips and lesson ideas
to use in the classroom.

6. Internet Podcast
• This podcast features
different topics from
algebra, one of them
dealing with solving
equations. This would
be a great resource
overall for students
because it covers
everything they will be
learning in an algebra
class

7. Internet Resources
• Khan Academy
– Khan Academy is a non-profit organization that
provides free tutorials. It is a great resource for
math, and this link takes you directly to a page
where you can practice solving 2-step equations.
• FREE
– Federal Resources for Educational Excellence
provides resources for both student and teacher
on different academic topics.

8. Internet Resources
• Wolfram MathWorld
– This website is a great resource for any math
topic. It features different innovative and
interactive ways to explore math problems.

9. Inspiration

10. iPod/iPad App
• This app specifically
deals with algebra and
solving equations. It is
a more interactive way
for students to practice
their algebra skills

11. Interactive Game

12. QuizStar
• This would be a
different way to
administer a quiz. This
would also be a helpful
tool for students who
maybe prefer learning
online.

13. Subject-Specific Resource
• This website provides different lesson plan
ideas based on subject and grade level, as well
as provides different activities that are related
to the topic.

14. Additional Resources
• Math Tools- this website provides different
resources for teaching algebra. It gives different
lesson ideas, activities, and technology resources.
• Cool Math-this website provides extra practice
with equations. It allows you to click on a type of
equation you want to practice and then
generates different examples for you to solve.
This would be great for students who want extra
practice, or who might be struggling.

15. SlideShare
• Using Slideshare, I am able to upload my
presentation or notes, and students would be
able to access them outside of the classroom.
This is helpful for students who may not have
been in class, or students who may have
missed something while taking notes.
