2nd Quarter


Unit 5: Expressions (October 17-28)

  • Identify exponents and write exponents in expanded form (i.e. 7 + 2³ = 7 +(2·2·2) = 7 + 8 = 15)


  • Evaluate an expression involving exponents and integers using order of operations


  • Write prime factorization of a number in exponential notation


  • Use order of operations to create equivalent expressions, including whole number exponents


  • Follow order of operations with fractions, decimals, & integers

Unit 6: Equations (October 31-November 18)

  • Define and differentiate between an expression and an equation


  • Create and solve one-step equations that represent a problem situation


  • Represent solutions for equations on a number line


  • Create a real world scenario that represents a given equation


  • Isolate a variable and find solutions to equations using concrete models such as algebra tiles, number lines, and counters


  • Isolate a variable algebraically using inverse operations to solve an equation


  • Write and solve an equation given a model

Unit 7: Inequalities ( November 28-December 16)

  • Isolate a variable using inverse (opposite) operations

  • Solve one-step one-variable inequalities with and without models

  • Write one-variable, one-step inequalities to represent real world scenarios (i.e. the temperature must be at least 75°; t > 75)


  • Represent solutions for one-step one-variable inequalities on a number line

  • Use open and closed circles to determine the inclusion of the solution


  • Create a real world scenario that represents a given inequality statement


  • Model one-variable, one-step inequalities using concrete models such as algebra tiles, including multiplying and dividing by negative coefficients (which requires the inequality sign to switch direction since negative implies opposite)


  • Understand that an inequality has infinite solutions while an equation has one

  • Prove the validity of a solution to an inequality by substituting the value back into the inequality and determining if the resulting statement is valid
