| OBJECTIVES |
EXAMPLES |
| Objective A: Learners will translate verbal
information into mathematical representations. |
- Represent situations that involve variables with expressions.
- Recognize and represent situations that involve variables in
equations.
- Translate written or verbal problems into mathematical symbols or
equations.
- Translate open sentences and expressions using variables into
written or verbal problems.
|
| Objective B: Learners will use algebraic
concepts to solve percent, ratio, and proportion problems. |
- Recognize that converting fractions to find common denominators,
converting fractions into decimals or into percents, and problems
involving percent may all be expressed as proportions and converted
into algebraic equations.
|
| Objective C: Learners will use tables and
graphs to solve problems. |
- Recognize the connection between algebra and geometry by using
algebraic equations to illustrate coordinate graphing and vice
versa.

- Provide statistical analyses for tables and graphs using the
computer.
|
| Objective D: Learners will apply algebraic
strategies in solving a variety of real-world and mathematical problems.
|
- Substitute numbers for symbols and vice versa.
- Recognize order of operations.
- Perform operations using positive and negative numbers.
- Perform inverse operation to solve equations and inequalities.
- Solve equations and inequalities using identity factors.
- Investigate inequalities informally.
- Apply coordinate graphing.
