The Power of Algebra

Number and Number Relations Students should:  

(N-2-M) demonstrate number sense and estimation skills to describe, order, and compare rational numbers;

Program 4
(N-4-M) demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the meaning of the basic arithmetic operations and their relationship to each other; Program 1, 2
(N-5-M) apply an understanding of rational numbers and arithmetic operations to real-life situations; Program 4
(N-2-H) demonstrate that a number can be expressed in many forms, and selecting an appropriate form for a given situation (e.g., scientific notation) Program 5
Algebra Students should:  

(A-1-M) demonstrate a conceptual understanding of variables, expressions, and equations;

Programs 1, 6, 7, 8, 9

(A-2-M) model and develop methods for solving equations; Programs 1, 6, 7, 8, 9
(A-5-M) demonstrate the connection of algebra to the other strands and to real-life situations; Programs 1 – 10
(A-1-H) demonstrate the ability to translate real-world situations into algebraic expressions, equations, and vice versa; Programs 1, 4, 5, 6, 10
(A-2-H) recognize the relationship between operations involving real numbers and operations involving algebraic expressions. Programs 5, 9
Measurement Students should:  

(M-6-M) demonstrate the connection of measurement to the other strands and to real-life situations.

Programs 5, 10

Geometry Students should:  

(G-7-M) demonstrate the connection of geometry to the other strands and to real-life situations.

Programs 1, 3, 5

Patterns, Relations, & Functions Students should:  

(P-1-M) describe, extend, analyze, and create a wide variety of numerical patterns (e.g., simple exponential number patterns);

Program 5

(P-1-H) model the concepts of variables, functions, and relations as they occur in the real world and using the appropriate notation and terminology; Programs 1, 4, 5, 6
(P-5-H) analyze real-world relationships that can be modeled by elementary functions. Programs 1, 6
