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
