This equations and expressions lesson teaches students how to evaluate numerical expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students evaluate numerical expressions using the order of operations.

This equations and expressions lesson covers the use of a variety of algebraic terminology. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the difference between numeric and algebraic expressions. Students also determine whether algebraic expressions have enough information to be evaluated.

This expressions and equations lesson teaches students how to solve algebraic expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students substitute a given value for a variable in the algebraic expression and then solve.

This equations and expressions lesson covers the use of a variety of algebraic terminology. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the difference between equations and inequalities.

This equations and expressions lesson covers the use of a variety of algebraic terminology. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students describe the inverse operations required to solve algebraic equations.

This expressions and equations lesson teaches students how to verify the solution to an equation. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students substitute a given value for a variable to determine whether or not the value is a solution.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the surface area of a prism. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify the bases and sides of a prism, calculate their separate areas and sum the separate areas to find the surface area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the area of a rhombus. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify a rhombus and use one of two methods (the product of base and height or one-half the product of the diagonals) to calculate its area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.

This statistics and probability lesson teaches students how to recognize statistical questions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will learn to recognize statistical questions.  The focus of this lesson is to familiarize students with statistical questions and how to investigate them.

This statistics and probability lesson teaches students how to describe the distribution of a data set. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will describe the distribution of data sets. This lesson focuses on describing a variety of statistical distributions in different situations. Students are asked to describe different related data sets and describe what that means.

This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on computing the mean, median, and mode of data sets. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students order the numbers from least to greatest. Then, they compute the mean by adding all the values in the data set and dividing by the number of items. They compute the median by identifying the middle number, realizing that if there is an even number, they will need to find the sum of the two middle values and divide by two. They compute the mode by identifying the most frequent number in the data set. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on computing the median, upper quartile, and lower quartile of a data set. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the data set and what it represents as well as ordering the numbers from least to greatest. Then, they identify the median and calculate the lower quartile and the upper quartile. Finally, they interpret the answer within the context of the problem. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
