Unit/Time / Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities – Instructional Days 77 - 102
Standard(s) 7.EE.1 – apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients. 7.EE.2 – understand that rewriting an expression in different forms can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. 7.EE.3 – solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form. 7.EE.4 – use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. Include word problems leading to equations in the form px+q = r and p(x+q) = r and inequalities of the form px+q>r or pz+q<r.
8.EE.7 – solve linear equations in one variable. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.
8.EE.8 – analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations, both graphically and algebraically.
