Description
Students are guided to understand, simplify and evaluate polynomial and exponential expressions. Students also develop algorithms to solve linear equations. These missions are aligned to Common Core Standards from the Equations and Equations category (middle school) and the Algebra category (high school). Magical genies who transform candies give a context for the creation of expressions and equations.
The fun stuff:
Magical genies who transform candies give a context for the creation of expressions and equations. A little history of algebra is explored as well! Later, students explore equations from physics to give a concrete context for writing and solving equations. An efficient unit which prepares students to work effectively with functions!
The zip file includes:
Six awesome missions to pick and choose from, or go start to finish. Altogether 46 pages of collaborative investigations and practice for students! The zip file includes:
★The missions (46 pages),
★A two-page Quick Start guide for teachers for each mission
★Selected Answers in pdf form
★Selected Answers online, password protected
The Missions are:
• Evaluating and Simplifying Polynomials and Exponents
•Equations
•Polynomial Expressions
•Linear Equations
•Eliminating Fractions, Eliminating Negatives
Bought individually the missions would cost $18, here they are offered at a discount.
Check my other awesome bundles as well! Engaging, entertaining and effective:
The Incomparable Number Sense Bundle from Courage To Core
The Exhilarating Linear Functions Bundle from Courage To Core
The Daring Data and Statistics Bundle from Courage To Core
About Courage To Core:
We all have an innate curiosity about how the world works. We are wired to experiment at the edges of our knowledge, to look for patterns and to draw conclusions. Mistakes are the welcome surprises which help us refine the experiment. In a student-centered classroom, students collaborate to ask questions, gather data, interpret results and articulate understanding. Success at the edge of knowledge demands persistence and creativity. Courage To Core provides a context for students to work together to become the agents of their success and the owners of their cognition. If you like Courage To Core, please give me a positive rating to help me get started on TpT! You get credits towards future TpT purchases with every rating you give! Just revisit the purchased item in my store and scroll down to star me! Thanks!
