Liberal Arts 1 | Unit B – Equations and Inequalities Unit Overview Math Florida Standards Content Standards Major Focus: Students will master the techniques of solving linear equations and inequalities; students will build, solve, and interpret equations and inequalities in order to model and solve contextual problems. Tasks: Students will create and solve equations and inequalities involving one and two variables. Students will use equations and inequalities to solve problems. Students will explain the steps of solving equations and inequalities, construct arguments, and justify the solutions. Students will graph solutions to linear equations and inequalities. Types of simple equations may include linear, rational, radical, and absolute value. Textbook Resources Math Matters 3: An Integrated Program. (2008). McGraw-Hill. Sections: 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 6-1, 6-3 *This unit will need to be supplemented with additional resources covering the topics: solving radical equations, solving rational equations, solving literal equations for a specified variable. Mathematics Formative Assessment System Tasks The system includes tasks or problems that teachers can implement with their students, and rubrics that help the teacher interpret students' responses. Teachers using MFAS ask students to perform mathematical tasks, explain their reasoning, and justify their solutions. Rubrics for interpreting and evaluating student responses are included so that teachers can differentiate instruction based on students' strategies instead of relying solely on correct or incorrect answers. The objective is to understand student thinking so that teaching can be adapted to improve student achievement of mathematical goals related to the standards. Like all formative assessment, MFAS is a process rather than a test. Research suggests that welldesigned and implemented formative assessment is an effective strategy for enhancing student learning. http://www.cpalms.org/resource/mfas.aspx This a working document that will continue to be revised and improved taking your feedback into consideration.

The MDS should not be used directly with students and is not for measurement purposes. This is not a scoring rubric. Since the MDS provides a preliminary unpacking of each focus standard, it should prompt PLCs to further explore question #1, “What do we expect all students to learn?” Notice that all standards are placed at a 3.0 on the scale, regardless of their complexity. A 4.0 extends beyond 3.0 content and helps students to acquire deeper understanding/thinking at a higher taxonomy level than represented in the standard (3.0). It is important to note that a level 4.0 is not a goal for the academically advanced, but rather a goal for ALL students to work toward. A 2.0 on the scale represents a “lightly” unpacked explanation of what is needed, procedural and declarative knowledge i.e. key vocabulary, to move students towards proficiency of the standards. 4.0 In addition to displaying a 3.0 performance, the student must demonstrate in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught within these standards. Examples: Given a linear equation or inequality, design a problem that could be modeled by that equation, paying close attention to the use of appropriate units in the context of the problem. Create absolute value equations and inequalities in one variable, and use them to solve problems. 3.0 The Student will: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions. (MAFS.912.A-CED.1.1) Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. (MAFS.912.A-CED.1.2) Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R. (MAFS.912.A-CED.1.4) Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method. (MAFS.912.A-REI.1.1) Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise. (MAFS.912.A-REI.1.2) Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters. (MAFS.912.A-REI.2.3) Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). (MAFS.912.A-REI.4.10) Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes. (MAFS.912.A-REI.4.12) Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. (MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1) 2.0 The student will recognize or recall specific vocabulary, such as: Variable, equation, properties of equality, inequality, formula, units, descriptive modeling, level of accuracy, limitations on measurement The student will perform basic processes, such as: Combine like terms in an expression or equation Use the distributive property to simplify an expression Choose appropriate units for a solution Given an equation with a correct solution, identify the steps taken to achieve the solution. Solve simple equations such as ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants. Identify and represent important information from a modeling context. 1.0 With help, partial success at 2.0 content but not at score 3.0 content This a working document that will continue to be revised and improved taking your feedback into consideration. Pasco County Schools, 2014-2015 Liberal Arts 1 | Unit B – Equations and Inequalities Unpacking the Standard: What do we want students to Know, Understand and Do (KUD): The purpose of creating a Know, Understand, and Do Map (KUD) is to further the unwrapping of a standard beyond what the MDS provides and assist PLCs in answering question #1, “What do we expect all students to learn?” It is important for PLCs to study the focus standards in the unit to ensure that all members have a mutual understanding of what student learning will look and sound like when the standards are achieved. Additionally, collectively unwrapping the standard will help with the creation of the uni-dimensional scale (for use with students). When creating a KUD, it is important to consider the standard under study within a K-12 progression and identify the prerequisite skills that are essential for mastery. Domain: Algebra: Reasoning with Equations & Inequalities Cluster: Solve equations and inequalities in one variable (Major) Standard: MAFS.912.A-REI.2.3: (Solve) linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters. Understand “Essential understandings,” or generalizations, represent ideas that are transferable to other contexts. Students will understand that many processes may be involved in order to achieve a solution to and equation/inequality. They should also be able to comprehend the nature of mathematical equality/inequality, namely that an equal sign does not mean “compute”, but rather means “is the same as”. Know Declarative knowledge: Facts, vocab., information Vocabulary: Linear equation in one variable, linear inequality in one variable, solve, solution, coefficient Do Procedural knowledge: Skills, strategies and processes that are transferrable to other contexts. Solve a linear equation in one variable (with and without variable coefficients). Solve a linear inequality in one variable (with and without variable coefficients). Properties of Equality Properties of Inequality Prerequisite skills: What prior knowledge (foundational skills) do students need to have mastered to be successful with this standard? Distributive Property, Combining Like Terms, Basic understanding of a variable, Skill with a number line (in preparation for representing solutions to linear inequalities) Learning Goals: Students can solve a linear equation in one variable. Students can solve a linear inequality in one variable. Moving Beyond: Students will use this material in Algebra 2: Linear and Exponential Relationships This a working document that will continue to be revised and improved taking your feedback into consideration. Pasco County Schools, 2014-2015 Liberal Arts 1 | Unit B – Equations and Inequalities Uni-Dimensional, Lesson Scale: The uni-dimensional, lesson scale unwraps the cognitive complexity of a focus standard for the unit, using student friendly language. The purpose is to articulate distinct levels of knowledge and skills relative to a specific topic and provide a roadmap for designing instruction that reflects a progression of learning. The sample performance scale shown below is just one example for PLCs to use as a springboard when creating their own scales for student-owned progress monitoring. The lesson scale should prompt teams to further explore question #2, “How will we know if and when they’ve learned it?” for each of the focus standards in the unit and make connections to Design Question 1, “Communicating Learning Goals and Feedback” (Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors). Keep in mind that a 3.0 on the scale indicates proficiency and includes the actual standard. A level 4.0 extends the learning to a higher cognitive level. Like the multidimensional scale, the goal is for all students to strive for that higher cognitive level, not just the academically advanced. A level 2.0 outlines the basic declarative and procedural knowledge that is necessary to build towards the standard.

Pasco County Schools, 2014-2015 Liberal Arts 1 | Unit B – Equations and Inequalities Sample High Cognitive Demand Tasks: These task/guiding questions are intended to serve as a starting point, not an exhaustive list, for the PLC and are not intended to be prescriptive. Tasks/guiding questions simply demonstrate one way to help students learn the skills described in the standards. Teachers can select from among them, modify them to meet their students’ needs, or use them as an inspiration for making their own. They are designed to generate evidence of student understanding and give teachers ideas for developing their own activities/tasks and common formative assessments. These guiding questions should prompt the PLC to begin to explore question #3, “How will we design learning experiences for our students?” and make connections to Marzano’s Design Question 2, “Helping Students Interact with New Knowledge”, Design Question 3, “Helping Students Practice and Deepen New Knowledge”, and Design Question 4, “Helping Students Generate and Test Hypotheses” (Domain 1: Classroom Strategies and Behaviors).
