 * Learning Goals**

My learning goal(s) for Equations is:

1) to learn how to use flowcharts to backtrack 2) 3) 4) 5)

To achieve my learning goal(s), I must learn: (What specific knowledge, information, skills do you need to acquire?)

To acquire that knowledge, I will use: (What specific resources will you use?)

To determine whether I have achieved that goal(s), I will: (What criteria will you use to determine whether you have met your goal?)

To demonstrate that I have achieved my goal(s), I will: (How will you prove that you have achieved your goal?)

here is an example of using flowcharts to backtrack an equasion. you start with x. you multiply it by 2. then you add 3. because you dont know what x is yet, you now have 2x + 3. you know that this equals fifteen, so you have 2x + 3 = 15. now, you have to undo what you did before. so, the last thing you did was add 3. so now subtract it from fifteen. the thing you did before that was double it, so now halve you number. what you get is what x equaled.
