This lesson plan is for a 7th grade math class on solving two-step equations. The 60-minute lesson involves students working individually or in groups on two worksheets - one with puzzles to solve equations and color diagrams accordingly, and one with word problems to solve equations and fill in letters. The objective is for students to gain deeper understanding and practice of solving two-step equations. The teacher will assess students based on whether the worksheets were completed correctly.
