This resource includes three days of lessons focused on evaluating expressions—with and without the use of a graphing calculator (TI-84 and Casio instructions included). Students will build confidence and fluency as they progress through increasingly complex expressions.

Over the three days, students will:

• Learn how to evaluate expressions involving square roots, absolute value, and multiple variables
  
• Practice both by hand and using calculator functions for support
  
• Develop critical thinking skills while interpreting and solving algebraic expressions
  

Each day features a scaffolded worksheet that allows for differentiated instruction, supporting learners at varying levels of understanding.

The unit wraps up on Day 3 with an independent riddle activity, where students apply what they've learned to solve expressions and uncover the answer to a fun math riddle—bringing engagement and accountability to independent practice.

✅ Answer keys are included for all worksheets and activities to make prep and grading quick and easy.

Perfect for Algebra, special education, or intervention classes that benefit from step-by-step instruction and built-in calculator guidance!
