Students are asked to use variables to write expressions that represent quantities described in context.

Students are asked to interpret the significance of a variable and its possible values when given a variable expression in a real-world context.

Students are asked to write and explain a real-world situation to accompany an algebraic expression.

This lesson allow students to gather, calculate, and plot data using both computer code and mathematical equations. In this lesson students will create a pedometer app to demonstrate the understanding of algorithms, components (such as buttons, textboxes, sensors, etc.), and If/Then statements. This lesson uses algebraic equations and random data to access the needed components to store data in a spreadsheet.

This lesson shows how data can be represented by computers, in relation to everyday activities we may not be aware that we use computer. It gives an overview of graphing data by creating a histogram based on population data. Using the data collected, students will get a chance to hand write code to show what structure is needed for computers to collect, analyze and distribute such data. This lesson is lesson 1 of the Data Set and Deviation Statistics Unit and bridges statistical concepts of data collection, graphing and analysis with programming a computer using coding language while reinforcing foundational algebraic skills.

This is the introductory lesson in a 4-lesson unit of study about different bodies of water, their characteristics, and how to translate natural language into computer language.

Students will explore the excretory system through a variety of activities that include an inquiry lab, a reading excerpt, an engineering design challenge, and creating an infomercial. Students will build a simulated kidney and explore what factors improve the filtering ability. Students will analyze the data and formulate findings.

Students will use a balance scale graphic organizer to solve for the unknown (variable) in addition and subtraction equations with one variable.

This lesson provides a hands-on activity where students can apply solving one-step multiplication and division equations to a real-world problem. The lesson focuses on the relationship between distance, rate, and time. The students will also represent data on graphs and draw conclusions and make interpretations based on the graphs.

This lesson explores using substitution to solve one-step equations. Each real world problems involves discussion and students are expected to support their solutions.

This lesson challenges student to develop and solve equations for mathematical and real world situations. Students will be encouraged to use the work backwards strategy using inverse operations to find a solution.

This lesson is designed to help students decode word phrases and then translate them from word form into numerical form. It provides a resource, in the form of a foldable, that can be kept all year and used anytime the students need to decode word phrases.

Students will construct several simple polyhedra, then count the number of faces, edges, and vertices. These data should suggest Euler's formula.

In this online problem-solving challenge, students apply algebraic reasoning to determine the "costs" of individual types of faces from sums of frowns, smiles, and neutral faces. This page provides three pictorial problems involving solving systems of equations along with tips for thinking through the problem, the solution, and other similar problems.

Students are asked to use a diagram or table to write an algebraic expression and use the expression to solve problems.

In this task students are asked to write an equation to solve a real-world problem.

"Students first explore arithmetic sentences to decide whether they are true or false. The lesson then introduces students to sentences that are neither true nor false but are algebraic equations, also called open sentences, such as x + 3 = 7 or 2 x = 12." from Math Solutions.
