Unit 1 - Expressions, Equations, & Inequalities

Common Core Standards: A.SSE.1.a - (interpret parts of an expression) A.SSE.2 - (rewriting expressions based on the structure of the expression) A.APR.1 - (adding and subtracting polynomials) A.CED.1 - (ceate equations and inequalities in one variable, and use to solve problems.) A.CED.3 - (represent constraints on linear equations and inequalities in the context of the problem) A.CED.4 - (rearrange formulas to isolate a certain variable) A.REI.1 - (explain each step in solving an equation) A.REI.3 - (solve equations and inequalities in one variable) Embedded Standards (to be infused through ALL units of study): N.Q.1 - (choose and interpret units in understand problems and guide solution paths) N.Q.2 - (define appropriate quantities in context) N.Q.3 - (choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurements) Pre-Requisite Standards: 6.EE.2, 6.EE.3, 6.EE.4, 6.EE.6, 6.EE.7, 6.EE.8 7.NS.1.d, 7.NS.2.c, 7.NS.2.d, 7.NS.3, 7.EE.1, 7.EE.3, 7.EE.4.a, 7.EE.4.b 8.NS.1, 8.EE.7.b Allotted Time Frame: 11 days (including test day) Learning Targets: "I can..." manipulate fractions and decimals, and convert between fractions and decimals. model and solve real-world and mathematical problems involving arithmetic operations with integers. use the order of operations to evaluate expressions with or without grouping symbols and/or exponents. evaluate algebraic expressions using specific values for variables (substitution). read, write, and translate verbal expressions into mathematical and algebraic expressions. create and evaluate expressions to model and solve real-world and mathematical problems. use the properties of equality to simplify algebraic expressions. read, write, and translate verbal expressions into algebraic equations and/or inequalities. write and solve one- and two-step equations in a single variable. write, solve, and graph one- and two-step linear inequalities in a single variable. write and solve multi-step linear equations and inequalities in a single variable. use the properties of equality to explain the solution to a linear equation (algebraic proof). represent and interpret constraints on linear equations and inequalities in context. solve a linear equation and/or formula for a specified variable (literal equations). give examples of linear equations with one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. use linear equations in a single variable to model and solve real-world and mathematical problems, and interpret the meaning of the solution in context.
