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 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. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the unknown amount, the given number or known amount, and the operation (using clue words or actions such as sum, difference, product, or quotient). Then, they write the algebraic expression. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on identifying the commutative and associative properties in simplified expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the expressions as they are simplified. Then, they identify which property of addition was used to simplify them. They justify their answer by explaining that if the addends were put into different places in the expression, then it was commutative, while if the addends were grouped to add them together, it was associative. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using the order of operations. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine which operation to perform first (using PEMDAS) and repeat the order of operations until no more can be performed. Then, they compute the final value. In addition to the lesson, there are thirteen pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
