Tools for this Unit:

Implementing District Standards

Standard 8A - Students who meet the standard can describe numerical relationships using

Variables and patterns.

Students will evaluation algebraic expressions for given values and simplify algebraic expressions involving like terms. Students experience with numbers and patterns will form a foundation for symbols, properties, and algebraic expressions.

Standard 8B - Students who meet the standard can interpret and describe numerical

relationships using tables, graphs, and symbols.

Students must be able to use algebraic methods to construction expressions and equations. Students must be able to interpret the relationships expressed by expressions and equations.

Standard 8C - Students who meet the standard can solve problems using systems of

numbers and their properties.

Students must be able to find solutions to everyday problems using the tools of algebra and logic.
