This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using parentheses in expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students write the given expression twice. Then, they insert parentheses around different locations of the expression and evaluate each expression to determine which is correct. Finally, students interpret their answer and read aloud. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

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 algebra and functions lesson focuses on evaluating expressions by using the order of operations. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students substitute the given value of each variable into the expression. Then, they evaluate the expression by determining which operation to perform first (using PEMDAS) and repeating the order until no more operations can be performed. Finally, they compute the value and interpret the answer. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and 12 flashcards for the order of operations.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using a variable to write an algebraic expression.
