For
virtual manipulatives for integers, fractions, percentages
and basic algebra, please see: http://matti.usu.edu/nlvm/nav/grade_g_3.html |
|
Students
problem solve and organize results as they construct unique
linking cube towers. (Combinations) |
|
| Students work in groups to find the common fraction/decimal/percentage equivalents. They practice estimation using these equivalents. | |
Alg
1.1b Percent Estimator |
Students use estimating templates to estimate percentages. They explain their estimating strategies. Please observe the different student templates--students can benefit from using different templates at different times. |
| Alg
1.2 Fractions and Integers |
Students use the calculator to solve problems and review operations with fractions and integers. |
| Alg
1.3 Order of Operations Alg 1.3b Four Order of Operations Games Alg 1.3 Order of Operations Foldable: Teacher Student |
Students use the calculator to review order of operations and then problem solve using order of operations |
Students
use algeblocks to add and subtract integers and variables. |
|
| Alg
1.5 Algebraic Properties *Chart PDF |
Students determine which property is true for different operations. They build and explain area models for the distributive property. |
| Alg
1.6 Picture Frames and Algebra |
Students derive and share methods for finding the area of the frame for a picture. The teacher guides transfer to algebraic symbols and properties |
| Alg
1.7 Fractals Intro *Fractals PowerPoint |
Students
research fractals and their applications on the internet.
They prepare a PowerPoint to present their findings. By
learning about fractals, they observe current mathematical
research |
