Multi-Step Problems--All Operations

Students use their knowledge of simplifying expressions, order of operations, and properties of equality to calculate the solution of multi-step equations. Students use tables to determine their answers. For example The school librarian, Mr. Marker, knows the number of books the library has but wants to reorganize how the books are displayed on the shelves. Give students time to work individually or with a partner in order to attempt to make sense of the problem.
