New Unit: Algebra!!!

Hello all,

Next week we will be moving onto our Patterning and Algebra unit and will be learning the following expectations:



  • evaluate algebraic expressions with up to three terms, by substituting fractions, decimals, and integers for the variables 
  • solve and verify linear equations involving a one-variable term and having solutions that are integers, by using inspection, guess and check, and a “balance” model 
  • describe different ways in which algebra can be used in real-life situations 
  • translate statements describing mathematical relationships into algebraic expressions and equations (e.g., for a collection of triangles, the total number of sides is equal to three times the number of triangles or s = 3n
  • represent, through investigation with concrete materials, the general term of a linear pattern, using one or more algebraic expressions 
  • represent linear patterns graphically 
  • determine a term, given its term number, in a linear pattern that is represented by a graph or an algebraic equation 
  • model linear relationships using tables of values, graphs, and equations
