In this unit, students represent and analyze mathematical situations using algebraic symbols, they come to understand the basic notions of equality and equivalent expressions through informal problem-solving. They learn how variables are used to represent change in quantities and also to represent a specific unknown in an equation.
The Teacher Guide is designed to provide background information on the mathematics being taught in this unit, the learning environment, mathematical communication, and differentiated instruction. Also included:
The Student Mathematician’s Journal allows students to explore simulated or real-life problems and help them to think, write, and read like mathematicians. It encourages students to reflect on what they have learned in each lesson, think deeply about mathematics, and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students will gather, represent and analyze data as the essence of good research to understand their world.
