Hyperlinks are for content teachers
Big Idea:
Generate equivalent expressions with variables and simplify using order of operations.
Student Expectations:
Priority TEKS
6.7(A) [Readiness] generate equivalent numerical expressions using order of operations, including whole number exponents
6.7(D) [Readiness] generate equivalent expressions using the properties of operations: inverse, identity, commutative, associative, and distributive properties
Focus TEKS
6.7(B) [Supporting] distinguish between expressions and equations verbally, numerically, and algebraically
6.7(C) [Supporting] determine if two expressions are equivalent using concrete models, pictorial models, and algebraic representations
Learning Targets:
