8.EE.7 A-REI.3 Feedback Solving Linear Equations

I have nightmares about this one

What aspect of solving linear equations is this student struggling with?  From the student’s point of view, why does the moves made seem like the right ones?

Are there any interesting things that you do to help students with linear equations? How do you make the right moves seem intuitive?

What is going through this student’s brain? What would you say to the kid to help out?

Let me know if you’re having trouble reading today’s submission. If image quality continues to be a problem then I’ll experiment with typing the student work up.
