• Use trial and error to determine the value of x or y. (Is the product too low, too high?)
• Use arrays (e.g., 3y = 12; When you have a total of 12 counters divided into three equal sets, how many tokens are in each set (= "y")?).

  • Read the story problem.
  • Identify what question is being asked / what x represents (define "x").

• Identify coordinates (points) on a graph.
• Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: x axis, y axis, x intercept, y intercept, line, rise, fall, slope, rate of change.

  • Label the p points 1 and 2.
  • Using two different colored pencils, mark the rise(red) and run (blue).
  • Count the rise. (How many units do you count up (positive) or down (negative) to get from one point to the next? Record this number (change in value) as your numerator.)
  • Count the run. (How many units do you count left (down/negative) or right to get to the point? Record this number (change in value) as your denominator.)
