Properties of Operations in Simplified Expressions
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
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.
Solve Problems Involving Rates
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on solving problems involving rates. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and identify the known rate and any information about the unknown rate. Then, they set up a proportion using the known rate and the unknown rate. Finally, they solve for the unknown quantity by cross-multiplying and solving the equation, and then interpret the solution in a complete sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Identify the Constant of Proportionality
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on solving problems involving direct variation. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify which two quantities have a direct variation. Then, they set up the direct variation equation, y=kx, and solve for the constant of variation, k, by substituting the known quantities. Finally, they write and circle the direct variation equation and use it to solve for the unknown quantity. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Graph Quadratic Functions
- Grade:
- 8
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on graphing functions of the form y=nx^2. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify and label the coefficient, n, of the quadratic function. Then, using n, they describe whether the parabola opens upward or downward and complete the table with x- and y-values by evaluating each function for the ex-values in the table. Finally, they use the table to create ordered pairs and plot them on the coordinate grid and sketch the parabola. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Determine the Slope of a Line Using the Slope Formula
- Grade:
- 8
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on determining the slope of a line using the slope formula. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students label the points as x1, y1, and x2, y2. Then, they substitute the y- and x- values into the slope formula. Finally, they determine the slope of the line and interpret it by identifying the direction of the line. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Graph Cubic Functions
- Grade:
- 8
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on graphing cubic functions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students substitute each value into the cubic equation and solve. Then, they plot the ordered pairs and connect the points using a smooth, curved line. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
