Students will translate between the written form and algebraic form using correct mathematical notation.
What have students learned over the course of Unit 1? Students apply their knowledge of multiples, factors, order of operations, and equivalent expressions to review for the unit test.
Patterns are prevalent in all levels of math. Common Core Standards expect students to be able to use structure - like that found in repeating the patterns of odd and even numbers or counting by 5s or 10s - to solve problems (MP7).
What do 6th grade students really need to know about Algebra?
Students use their knowledge of algebraic expressions and equations to write expressions and equations using appropriate math symbols.
Students use their knowledge of algebraic expressions and equations to write expressions and equations.
Understanding properties will lay the ground-work for solving equations.
Writing expressions paves the path to writing and solving equations.
As in life, there is not always one solution to a problem.
We can apply math to almost every part of the day and make math have a purpose for students.
This task provides an exploration of a quadratic equation by descriptive, numerical, graphical, and algebraic techniques. Based on its real-world applicability, teachers could use the task as a way to introduce and motivate algebraic techniques like completing the square, en route to a derivation of the quadratic formula.
This task is for instructional purposes only and builds on ``Building an explicit quadratic function.''
Students will learn how to draw a line of best fit for a set of data using m&m's and a "Bungee."
The emphasis in this task is on the progression of equations, from two that involve different values of the sales tax, to one that involves the sales tax as a parameter. It is designed to foster the habit of looking for regularity in solution procedures, so that students don't approach every equation as a new problem but learn to notice familiar types.
Algebra II provides an introduction to Advanced Algebra topics.
CK-12 Foundation's Algebra FlexBook is an introduction to algebraic concepts for the high school student. Topics include: Equations & Functions, Real Numbers, Equations of Lines, Solving Systems of Equations & Quadratic Equations.
