MS Math SPED Resource Map

“I know that equation _____ will have a positive/negative/zero solution because ____.”, “Some features of equations with a positive/negative/zero solution are ____.” and “When I look at structure of this equation I notice that ____.” This will help students practice talking about the structure of equations and the operations within them. From Lesson 6 “Are You Ready for More?”: Mai gave half of her brownies, and then half a brownie more, to Kiran. Then she gave half of what was left, and half a brownie more, to Tyler. That left her with one remaining brownie. How many brownies did she have to start with?
