Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will draw diagrams or pictures or make lists representing problems before they begin to solve algebraically. They will accurately label the diagrams. 

2.) Students will solve a variety of problems involving mixture, rate, and work. 
3.) Students will work in groups on the same problem, but each group will demonstrate different methods of solving the problems. Groups will present their solutions. 
Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will solve several work problems to solve by drawing a diagram, then writing an equation from the diagram. 

2.) Students will complete a Unit Project, such as create a daily menu. 
3.) Students will create a poster demonstrating methods used in solving a work problem, mixture problem, and/ or rate problem.
