Lesson Plan: Linear Equations

Grade: 6
Subject: Mathematics
Duration: 40–45 minutes

SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes):


By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. Recognize algebraic equations.


2. Differentiate between linear algebraic equations and linear algebraic expressions
in one variable.
3. Solve simple linear equations in one variable.

Materials Required:
✅ For Teacher:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Flashcards with algebraic expressions and equations
 Number line (for visual demonstration)

✅ For Students:

 Notebooks and pencils


 Small whiteboards or math worksheets

Information (Key Concepts):


🔹 What is an Algebraic Equation?

 A mathematical statement that shows two expressions equal to each other using an
equal sign (=).
 Example: 2x + 3 = 7

🔹 Difference Between Algebraic Expressions and Equations:

Algebraic Expression Algebraic Equation


Does not have an equal sign ( = ) Has an equal sign ( = )
Example: 2x + 3 Example: 2x + 3 = 7

🔹 What is a Linear Equation in One Variable?

 An equation with only one variable (like x or y) and no exponents.


 Example: x + 5 = 10
🔹 How to Solve a Linear Equation?

 Step 1: Isolate the variable (keep x alone on one side).


 Step 2: Use inverse operations (addition/subtraction, multiplication/division).
 Step 3: Check your answer by substituting it back.

Example: Solve x + 4 = 10

 Subtract 4 from both sides → x = 6

Explanation (Teacher's Presentation):


1. Introduction with Real-Life Connection:
o Ask: "If you buy 2 candies and the total cost is $10, how much does one candy
cost?"
o Lead to the idea of solving for an unknown (x).
2. Explain the Difference Between Expressions & Equations:
o Write 2x + 3 and 2x + 3 = 7 on the board.
o Ask students: "Which one has an equal sign?"
o Explain how equations can be solved, but expressions cannot.
3. Demonstrate Solving Equations:
o Solve x – 5 = 12 step by step on the board.

Activity:
🎯 Equation Sorting Game:

1. Write different expressions and equations on flashcards.


2. Ask students to sort them into two groups: "Equations" and "Expressions".
3. Discuss their answers.

Assessment:
✅ Quick Review Questions:

 What is an algebraic equation?


 How is an equation different from an expression?
 Solve: 3x + 2 = 11
 Solve: 5x = 20

Homework:
📌 Task 1: Identify and circle the equations in a given list of algebraic statements.
📌 Task 2: Solve the following equations:

1. x + 7 = 15
2. 2x = 18
3. 3x – 4 = 11
