5.0 Algebraic Properties PDF
*Chart
PDF
|
Students
will determine which property is true for the operations
of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. (Access
chart at left.)In addition students build, draw and explain
area models for the distributive property. They practice
simplifying expressions, specifically using the distributive
property. They apply this to perimeters of rectangles.

5.1b Four Order of Operations Games
Pre 5.1b Order of Operations Foldable: Teacher
Student
|
Students
will first use the calculator to derive the order of operations.
Then they problem solve to arrive at the same solution by
placing parenthesis in 4 different numeric problems |
Pre
5.2 Picture Frames and Algebra PDF
|
Students
derive and share methods for finding the area of the frame
for a picture. The teacher guides transfer to algebraic symbols
and properties |

Students
use Hands On Equation manipulatives to model and solve simple
and complex equations. Use PowerPoint presentation to help
with introductionat left
Students write equations ord problems and word problems from
equations. They solve and check solutions. |

Students
use foldables to help them differentiate and remember the
steps in solving equations. |
| Pre
5.3b Solving Equations Game |
Students
play a game similar to Uno which requires them to match different
equations with the same solution. |
| Pre
5.4 Maps and Grids PDF |
Students
will locate their houses and the school on a local map obtained
from the internet. They will translate this map to a coordinate
grid sheet and designate the coordinate pairs for their homes
and the school. Then they practice placing, naming, and comparing
coordinate points. |

5.5a Stories from Graphs I and II
PDF
Pre
5.5b Stories from Graphs III and IV PDF
|
Students
match stories to distance/time graphs and then create stories
to go with distance/time graphs. They also match graphs from
the Calculators and CBRs by moving toward and away from a
wall. |
Pre
5.6a Graphs from Stories
PDF
|
Students
interpret a graph which tells the story of a TV dinner from
freezer to dinner—the graph relates temperature and
time. They create a another temperature/time graph about
meat purchased, brought home and placed in the freezer.
They create graphs from stories about lemonade sales.

5.6b More Stories and Graphs PDF |
This
lesson could serve as ad assessment to 5.6a. Students match
graphs to stories and stories to graphs. |
Pre
5.7 Graphs and Predictions
PDF
|
Students
examine data about M&Ms, postage stamps and a car wash.
Then they plot graphs and use the graphs to make predictions.
|
| Pre
5.8 Rules from Tables and Graphs PDF |
Students
describe the rule for the patterns found in tables of coordinate
pairs and their graphs. Then they use rules to find coordinate
pairs. |
| Pre
5.9 Patterns and More Patterns PDF |
This
lesson involves the exploration of visual and numeric patterns
and sequences. Students must analyze the patterns, generalize
rules, and use the patterns to solve problems |
