This recording of a 45-minute webinar provides an overview of the key strategies used in Level II of Hands-On Equations. The white pawn is introduced as the opposite of x, and given the name of star. Using principles such as the addition property of equality, the property of additive inverses, and the additive identity property, students solve equations such as 2x + (-x) + 3 = 2(-x) + 15 and 2x – 3x = x + 8.
