Get in one last practice. Pupils work through 12 problems and a performance task to review the topics in Unit 1. The problems cover analyzing and modeling with graphs, algebraic properties of equality, and adding, subtracting, and...

Properly apply properties to arrive at equivalent expressions. Pupils review the main properties of equivalence with the guidance from the video. They take the knowledge from the video and apply the properties within the instruction and...

Individuals play a computer game to terraform planets. Learners add plants, animals, fungi, and minerals to the planet surface by creating numerical expressions that represent the objects. After playing the game for a while, the class...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

The same rules apply. While watching the video, learners realize that the same rules apply to evaluate an expression with negative exponents as does simplifying an expression. The presentation shows a set of steps to evaluate a monomial...

Develop a radical approach to covering the Smarter Balanced targets for 8th grade math with a presentation that helps further develop math skills. Seven sample items demonstrate the expectation for working with integer exponents,...

Always operate under the assumption that the order of operations applies. An informative video shows viewers how to use the order of operations. It goes through four examples and explains how to evaluate each expression.

To add or subtract ... how do you make the decision? The video instructor explains the process of writing a numerical expression from a verbal expression. While writing the expressions, he provides explanations for his decisions.

We'd all love to have barrels of candy. An interactive shows the steps in evaluating a numerical expression that reflects the cost of buying several different barrels of candy.

Placement of parentheses is paramount. Scholars adjust the location of parentheses in a numerical expression so its value matches a given value. A slider interactive helps with this task.

Explore a basic pattern to practice writing expressions. In collaborative groups, learners examine a contextual pattern and write an expression to model it. The task encourages groups to describe the pattern in multiple ways.

PEMDAS is not all that it is cracked up to be. The short video provides an argument that the order of operations may not be instructionally sound. The presentation shows that understanding the concepts and properties of mathematics...

The sixteen problems in this resource present opportunities for pupils to practice substituting into algebraic expressions. Scholars evaluate algebraic expressions for given values of the variables. In a few cases, class members need to...

Here's a video that presents several numerical expressions to be evaluated using a calculator.Viewers come to realize that sometimes it is not just a matter of punching in the numbers, but they also need to be concerned about how the...

As people and civilizations have become more complex, numbers have evolved into what they are today. Watch a video that walks viewers through the history of the development of symbols into numbers and positional notations.

Tip—start with the inner most nested grouping symbol. The resource provides an explanation of the conventional method in nesting grouping symbols and using parentheses, brackets, and braces. The video provides two examples, one involving...

Teach the basics of exponent expressions. A video defines an exponent and demonstrates its meaning using several examples. Examples include variables and both positive and negative integers
