Overview
For Periods 4-5, students in Mrs. Cosme’s Class are taking Algebra 1 Math,
(Advance Class). This advanced class prepares our math students, prior to
other classes, with more knowledge, and better capability for their onset of
learning Algebra.
Objectives - For Marking Period 1
1. Apply associative, commutative, and distributive properties to algebraic
expressions/equations.
2. Combine like terms in equations/expressions
3. Solving Algebraic equations, with variables on both sides.
4. Absolute Value, in Algebraic Equations and Expressions.
5. Literal Algebraic Equations - (Equations with 2 or more variables)

Lessons
2.1 - Variables & Expressions: A mathematical phrase which can
contain numbers, operators (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide) and at least one
variable (like x or y)
2.2 - Order Of Operations: In mathematics and computer programming,
the order of operations (or operator precedence) is a collection of rules that define
which procedures to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical
expression.
2.3 - Properties Of Numbers: There are four mathematical properties
which involve addition. The properties are the commutative, associative, additive
identity and distributive properties.
2.4- Rational/Irrational Numbers: An irrational number is a real
number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers, as a fraction, non-perfect
square, or a terminating decimal. A rational number is any number that can be
expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a nonzero denominator q.
2.5- Absolute Value: The distance a number is away from 0.
2.6- Literal Equations: A literal equation is an equation where variables
represent known values. Literal equations allow use to represent things like
distance, time, interest, and slope as variables in an equation. Using variables
instead of words is a real time-saver!
