Reflections -By the end of this lesson, all type of the equations has been covered. However, as this is a
heavy unit that contain very important base for the next level of math course, teacher needs to
encourage students to be proactive, doing many practice questions and ask for help. Give them
mental support and state to them if they do not fully understand just yet, it is normal and it will
come with the practice. Teacher can also share her personal experience and relate to them for
additional support.
