Introduction
As an Algebra I student, it is important to understand how to solve multi-step equations, especially two-step equations. At this point in your education, you should have previously mastered how to solve one-step equations. Now, let's take it one step further!
The purpose of this WebQuest is to help you learn how to solve two-step equations by exploring this concept, and solving these type of problems on your own with relation to real-world concepts. This knowledge can be important for the real-world because, no matter what you choose to study as your career of choice, you will have to understand how to solve two-step problems. Good luck!
Task
By working through this WebQuest, you will gain the knowledge to accurately solve a two-step equation by:
1. Viewing videos online that help you understand how to solve two-step equations.
2. Solving two-step equations on your own.
By working through this WebQuest, you should be able to answer the following guiding questions:
1. What is a two-step equation?
2. How do you solve a two-step equation?
3. Can you solve a two-step equation on your own?
Process
TASK ONE:
Watch the following videos that explains what two-step equations are and how to solve them. As you watch these videos, use the flowchart at the following link to help you organize your information (Solving Equations Flowchart):
TASK TWO:
Go to the following page to find the practice problems. You are to correctly solve five problems from this page. Do not move on to the next problem without showing your work!
TASK THREE:
Complete the following quiz. Be sure to write down your final score!
TASK FOUR:
Using the evaluation rubric, self-assess your mastery of the content.
