Tools of Algebra: Expressions, Equations, & Inequalities, Part 2
From the CUNY Math Packet
Teachers can use these materials to help students develop algebraic reasoning and learn how to use algebra as a tool in problem-solving. Students also learn about mathematical symbols and how they are used.
Part 2 builds on what students learn in Part 1, and includes topics such as:
- Our different uses for variables in math
- How to combine like terms and solve equations using tape diagrams
- Using variables in scientific and geometric formulas, including finding the volume of three-dimensional figures and the Pythagorean Theorem
- Evaluating systems of equations through guess and check and matching systems of equations to real-life situations
- Understanding, solving, evaluating, and graphing inequalities
NOTE: Students should complete Tools of Algebra: Expressions, Equations, & Inequalities, Part 1 before working on Part 2.
