Week 19

(Module 3 Topic 1 Lesson 1: Numeric Expression)

Learning objective = Students use area and volume to make sense of exponential expressions. They evaluate expressions with exponents, including powers where the base is a sum. Students complete a sort where they match numeric expressions with geometric models. They use the Order of Operations to evaluate numeric expressions and to justify their steps.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***

Agrinautica GameStudents engaged in Math Snacks in class learned more math than those with access to just classroom instruction.

Equivalent Expressions with the Distributive Property | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Greatest Common Factors and Least Common Multiples (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesThis animated Math Shorts video explains how the distributive property can help students model and create equivalent expressions. In the accompanying classroom activity, students play a quick game where they identify common factors within an expression and work on a series of problems that expand their understanding of how to apply the distributive property. While the problems begin with whole number expressions, students soon work toward algebraic notation and eventually develop the idea that ax + bx can be rewritten as x(a + b).

Translating Expressions | Algebra 1: Module 1: Topic 1 | Grades 6-8, 9-12 High School Algebra Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this program, we learn about translating algebraic expressions that can contain ordinary numbers, variables (like x or y) and operators (like add, subtract, multiply and divide).
