  • Use manipulatives (pattern blocks, two-way counters) to represent portions of the problem.
  • Use a tool (such as a mat, table or graphic organizer) to separate the expression into parts.
  • Use algebra tiles to represent a part of the expression.
Representation:
  • Use virtual manipulatives to represent the problem. Teacher support: Click Here

Number: MAFS.912.A-SSE.1.AP.1b
Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 07/14
Cluster: Interpret the structure of expressions. (Algebra 1 - Major Cluster) (Algebra 2 - 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.
