The lesson objective is for students to explore the equal sign and its relationship to values, understand that performing the same operation on both sides of the equal sign is necessary to solve equations, and use inverse operations to solve one-step algebraic equations. Students will use balances to represent equal equations and learn that the scale must be balanced. The lesson will review vocabulary and have students work independently on practice equations.
