task 1

Hello everyone,

One of my lesson that went very well is while I teaching Linear Equation Form 2. That the difficult topic especially for weak student, who dont like this subject. So, I have to find very easier and simply to make them understand. This is what I done:

For example:
1. Find the value of y + 3 = 5

Minus both side with -3

y + 3 = 5
- 3 = -3
_________
y = 2



2. Find the value of x – 4 = 7

add both side with 4

x - 4 = 7
+ 4 = + 4
_________
x = 11


It more better if we can present by colourful card or like game. I got this idea from my ex-student who just came from USA. And then, I surfed internet to find out this method. My student like it a lot but the problem is, this method only can solve a simple equation, not a difficult equation like 2x + 4 = 7. But at least, they know the concept. So maybe, your guy have a better idea to improve that.
