— Kids, today we’re going to learn about logical thinking. Let’s see how you think.

The teacher asks Nika:

— Nika, there are 5 sisters in your house, and they all love chocolate. How many chocolate bars do you need to buy to make everyone happy?

Nika thinks for a moment and answers:

— Six!

The teacher, surprised, asks:

— Why six? Five should be enough.

Nika smiles and replies:

— Teacher, you don’t know my mom… if she doesn’t get one too, no one’s getting any!

- Bring me 99 khinkali!

- Let there be 100!

- I'm not a pig!"

Bir gün Nasreddin Hoca, komşusundan bir kazan ister. İşini bitirince kazanın içine küçük bir tencere koyup geri iade eder. Kazan sahibi tencereyi görünce:
 "Bu nedir?" diye sorar. Hoca cevap verir:
 "Müjde! Kazanınız doğurdu". Bu haber komşusunun hoşuna gider.
 "Pekala!" diyerek tencereyi kabullenir. Hoca yine bir gün komşusundan kazanı ister. Alır ama bu sefer iade etmez. Sahibi bir süre bekler. Kazanın gelmediğini görünce, Hocanın evine gelir, kazanı geri ister. Hoca üzüntülü bir çehre ile:
"Sizlere ömür, kazanı kaybettik" der. Komşu hayretle:
Aman Hocam, hiç kazan ölür mü? Deyince, Hocanın cevabı hazırdır:
"Kazanın doğurduğuna inanırsın da, öldüğüne niçin inanmazsın?" Hoca, daha sonra kazanı iade eder. Zaten maksadı, çıkarına çok düşkün olan komşusuna, iyi bir ders vermektir.

Topic:

Solving One-Step and Two-Step Equations

Objective:

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

• Understand the concept of an equation.

• Solve one-step and two-step equations using inverse operations.

• Check their solutions by substitution.

Materials:

• Whiteboard and markers

• Student notebooks

• Handout with practice problems

• Calculator (optional)

Lesson Structure:

1. Warm-up (5 minutes):

Ask students to simplify the following expressions:

• 5+x5 + x5+x when x=3x = 3x=3

• 2x2x2x when x=4x = 4x=4
  Discuss: What is the difference between an expression and an equation?

2. Introduction to Equations (10 minutes):

• Define what an equation is: An equation shows that two expressions are equal.

• Examples:

  • x+3=7x + 3 = 7x+3=7

  • 2x=102x = 102x=10

• Explain the goal: Find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

3. Teaching – Solving Equations (15 minutes):

One-Step Equations:

• Addition/Subtraction:

  • x+5=12x + 5 = 12x+5=12 → Subtract 5 from both sides

• Multiplication/Division:

  • 3x=153x = 153x=15 → Divide both sides by 3

Two-Step Equations:

• 2x+3=112x + 3 = 112x+3=11
  Step 1: Subtract 3
  Step 2: Divide by 2

Emphasize inverse operations and maintaining balance.

4. Guided Practice (10 minutes):

Work together on these:

• x−7=5x - 7 = 5x−7=5

• 4x=164x = 164x=16

• 3x+2=113x + 2 = 113x+2=11

• x/2−1=3x/2 - 1 = 3x/2−1=3

5. Independent Practice (5–10 minutes):

Students solve a worksheet with 5–7 problems individually.

6. Review and Wrap-up (5 minutes):

• Go over a few answers

• Ask: How do we check if our solution is correct?

Hodja gave a positive answer to all the children: - OK, fine.

Only one of the children, because he had money in his hand, said to Hodja: - Hodja, can you bring me a whistle with this money?

Hodja returned from the market towards evening. The children who were waiting for him immediately surrounded Hodja and asked for their whistles.

Hodja took out a whistle from his pocket and handed it to the child who gave him money.

The children started shouting: - Where are our whistles? - He who pays the money blows the whistle.
