Unit 4

Student Learning Targets

Accelerated 7

Section AWriting Equivalent Expressions

1

Subtraction in Equivalent Expressions

I can organize my work when I use the distributive property.
I can rewrite subtraction as adding the opposite and then rearrange terms in an expression.

2

Expanding and Factoring

I can organize my work when I use the distributive property.
I can use the distributive property to rewrite expressions with positive and negative numbers.
I understand that “factoring” and “expanding” are words used to describe using the distributive property to write equivalent expressions.

3

Combining Like Terms (Part 1)

I can figure out whether two expressions are equivalent to each other.
When possible, I can write an equivalent expression that has fewer terms.

4

Combining Like Terms (Part 2)

Section BEquivalent Equations

Section CLinear Equations in One Variable

10

All, Some, or No Solutions

I can determine whether an equation has no solutions, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.

11

How Many Solutions?

I can solve equations with different numbers of solutions.

Section DLet’s Put It to Work

12

Applications of Expressions

I can write algebraic expressions to understand and justify a choice between two options.

Unit 4 Resources

Student Materials Student Materials in Spanish

I am aware of some common errors when writing equivalent expressions, and I can avoid them.

When possible, I can write an equivalent expression that has fewer terms.

5

Keeping the Equation Balanced

I can add or remove blocks from a hanger and keep the hanger balanced.
I can represent balanced hangers with equations.

6

Balanced Moves

I can add, subtract, multiply, or divide each side of an equation by the same expression to get a new equation with the same solution.

7

More Balanced Moves

I can make sense of multiple ways to solve an equation.

8

Solving Any Linear Equation

I can solve an equation where the variable appears on both sides.

9

Strategic Solving

I can solve linear equations in one variable.
