Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will solve problems requiring the correct use of the Order of Operations and justify each step in the process: 

4 + (2 x 3)/2 = 

(4 + 16)/2 + 3 x 5 = 

5 + 4/2 = 

17 + 3 x 2(2) =  

2.) Students will solve problems involving variables: 

3 + x = 7 

4(4) = y 

24 - n = 19 

3x = 21 

3.) Students will solve problems involving algebraic expressions with three variables. Students will write the algebraic expression and then solve the problem. For example: 

If a woman is paid $7.25 per hour and works 32 hours per week, how much will her weekly earnings be? How much would she earn if she worked 35 hours? 40 hours? 



Previously Published Data 

1.) In their Mathematics Journals, students explain the Order of Operations and why it is important to use this agreed-upon order. Students will discuss the steps involved in the order. 


2.) Students will successfully solve problems involving up to three variables. 
3.) Students will write their own problems and then have other students solve for the unknowns. The solution must indicate the algebraic expression.
