(ALGEBRA AND FUNCTIONS)
Students use variables in simple expressions, compute the
value of the expression for specific values of the variable,
and plot and interpret the results.

Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will apply the distributive property: 

  • 3 x 24 = (3 x 20) + (3 x 4) + = 60 + 12 = 72
  • 2 x 17 = 
  • 4 x 39 = 
  • 7 x 83 = 
    2.) Students will solve for the variable:
  • 3 x (a + 5) = 30
  • b x (4 + 2) = 24
  • 2 x (6 + c) = 60 
    • Previously Published Data 

    1.) Students will solve 8 x 45 by using the distributive property in equation form. 

    2.) Students will find the value of "b" in the equation (7 + b) x 5 = 140 and show each step of their solutions. 
    3.) Students will write an equation and use the distributive property for the following problem: John has $10 to spend in a state without sales tax. He has to but 2 rolls of paper towels for $.89 each and 2 toothbrushes for $2.49 each. He sees several items on sale he would like to buy for himself and his two brothers. Item w costs $.37 each, item x cost $.78 each, item y costs $.97 each, and item z cost $1.11 each. If he has to buy three items all the same, and he want to get the most expensive item possible, which item will he choose and what will his total bill be? Students will show their work and explain their thinking using words, charts; graphs, and mathematics.
