=Lesson Plan -- Exploring Equality= == This lesson is their first introduction to algebra (solving for unknown variables). We start with a lesson on the properties of equality and introduce a situation with pouches and coins(where students need to find out how many coins are in each pouch). This is a very good way to introduce solving for an unknown so students can later generalize their methods and extend it to algebraic equations. = = = =
