1.) Students will solve problems such as the following: 
  • The sum of two numbers is twelve. One number is three more than twice the other. Find the numbers.
  • Find two consecutive even numbers whose sum is ten. 
    2.) Students will evaluate each expression: 
  • (3 + 4)(4 + 7)
  • (5 + 9)7
  • (3)(3)(3) + 4(5)(5)
  • (3 +1)(3 +1)(3 +1) + (12 -5)(12- 5) + (6 - 3)(6 - 3)(6 - 3) 
    3.) Students will evaluate each expression when:
  • x = 3, y = 5, and z = 7
  • (2y)(2y) + yz - 3x
  • (y)(y) - ((x)(x)(x) - 4) 
    4.) Students will write an expression for the following and evaluate;
  • A number, m squared, is equal to 2 less than the product of 9 and 3.
  • 68 is less than the quotient of n and 6. What are the possible values of n? Graph the solution on a number line. 

  • 1.) Students will find three consecutive numbers whose sum is 75. Write an equation and solve. Use n as the variable. 
    2.) Students will use algebraic tiles to show (x)(x) + 5x; 2x(x) + 3x + 4 
    3.) Students will find the dimensions of the triangle whose perimeter is thirteen centimeters. The first side is one centimeter longer than the second side. The third side is twice the length of the second side.
