{"product_id":"math-mammoth-linear-equations-2","title":"Math Mammoth Linear Equations 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eMath Mammoth Linear Equations 2 continues the study of linear equations after Math Mammoth Linear Equations 1, and is meant for the 8th grade level. It focuses both on the mechanics of solving linear equations and on problem solving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts with a vocabulary reference sheet. The first actual lesson is a review of integer addition and subtraction, which you can omit at your discretion. The next several lessons after that review simple equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r and and the distributive property from 7th grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe next step towards solving more complex equations is the lesson Combining Like Terms. Students add and subtract like terms, including with decimal or fractional coefficients, and solve equations where like terms need combined first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving learned this, students then tackle some typical algebraic word problems in the following lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen it is time to learn to solve equations where the variable is on both sides. There are often several possible solution pathways. Students also learn about the common error of adding or subtracting Òacross the sides.Ó\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lesson Simplifying Linear Expressions focuses on how to remove parentheses after a minus sign, such as in the expression 2(3 + 2y)  _  7(3 _ 5y).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter that, it is time for more practice and word problems, including age and coin word problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen we turn our attention to equations with fractions, and the student learns to multiply both sides of the equation by a common multiple of the denominators. In the lessons on formulas, the student both solves various formulas for a variable in it, and uses formulas to solve a variety of word problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lesson More on Equations deals with equations that have an infinite number of solutions (identities) or no solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book ends with two more lessons on word problems (percent word problems and miscellaneous problems).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e---------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book has content covering the following math standards:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlorida's B.E.S.T Standards\u003cbr\u003e\nMA.8.AR.2.1\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Core Standards\u003cbr\u003e\n8.EE.7.a, 8.EE.7.b\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maria Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44226246508705,"sku":"9781111127029","price":28.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/m82mez-front-shortedge-384_b01d347c-95b7-4141-8fe7-a5579756248c.jpg?v=1747544302","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/math-mammoth-linear-equations-2","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
