Week 21

(Module 3 Topic 1 Lesson 3: Equivalent Expression)

Learning objective = Students use algebra tiles to make sense of combining like terms and applying the Distributive Property with multiplication and division. They apply these skills to rewrite algebraic expressions. They use the Distributive Property to factor expressions so that the coefficient of the variable is one. Students write algebraic expressions based on different perspectives in real-world situations.

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***
