Solving One-Step Equations

The lesson focuses on solving one-step equations using multiplication and division. It covers solving equations like 3z = 9 and y/4 = 2 using both tape diagrams and algebraic methods. The importance of checking solutions is emphasized. Students are instructed to practice independently using Socrative and AAA Math.
