Write and solve equations

Target: Translate a multiplication sentence and solve it.

Language target: Use “times” and “is” precisely.

Likely miss: Students solve before writing, or they write the operations backwards.

Ask: What equation matches the sentence?

If you see it: Write the equation that matches the sentence, then solve.

Evidence to listen for: The equation’s structure matches the words.

Next: If the answer appears with no equation, ask for the equation first.
