- Use manipulatives to combine like terms.
- Understand the following vocabulary and symbols: +, -, ×, ÷, =, variable, equation.
- Understand that variable terms can be added, subtracted, and multiplied.

Cluster:
Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. (Algebra 1 - Major Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
