Writing Algebraic Equations

Mathematics · Algebra · representational

Express missing number problems algebraically using letters for unknowns; translate word problems into equations

What mastery looks like

  • Write 'I think of a number, double it, and add 5 to get 17' as 2n + 5 = 17
  • Solve a one-step equation such as 3x = 24 and explain the reasoning
  • Express a word problem as an algebraic equation and find the unknown value

Check your understanding

If Writing Algebraic Equations reads "I think of a number, double it, and add 5 to get 17," can they write that as an equation using a letter for the unknown and solve it?
