Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to solve two-step linear equations by correctly sequencing inverse operations.
Students will be able to differentiate between the additive and multiplicative inverse operations required to isolate the variable in a two-step equation.
Students will be able to apply inverse operations to both sides of a two-step equation to maintain equality and determine the unknown variable's value.

Track learner progress

Run this simulation with a class and watch it happen: who started, who finished, and how long each learner took. Drill into a run to see what they actually did.

Group sessions

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.
