Grade 8 - Patterns and Relations
Standard 8.PR.2 - Find the visual representation between an equation and algebra tiles.
Included Skills: Algebra
Model and solve problems using linear equations of the form: • ax = b; • x/a = b, a ≠ 0; • ax + b = c; • x/a + b = c, a ≠ 0; • a(x + b) = c concretely, pictorially and symbolically, where a, b and c are integers. Students who have achieved this outcome should be able to: A. Model a given problem with a linear equation and solve the equation using concrete models, e.g., counters, integer tiles. B. Verify the solution to a given linear equation using a variety of methods, including concrete materials, diagrams and substitution. C. Draw a visual representation of the steps used to solve a given linear equation and record each step symbolically. D. Solve a given linear equation symbolically. E. Identify and correct an error in a given incorrect solution of a linear equation. F. Apply the distributive property to solve a given linear equation, e.g., 2(x + 3) = 8 becomes 2x + 6 = 8 G. Solve a given problem using a linear equation and record the process.
