Full teaching script
  1. Today: Solving linear equations. Our goal: Solve equations with the unknown on both sides.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. An equation is a balance. Whatever you do to one side you do to the other. 5x − 3 = 2x + 9 → subtract 2x → 3x − 3 = 9 → add 3 → 3x = 12 → divide → x = 4.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Solve 7x + 2 = 3x + 18 and 4(x − 1) = 2x + 6.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
