Math Games for Teachers

Secondary 1 - Number and Algebra

Standard 7.NA.5 - Practice simplifying variable expressions with addition and multiplication.

Included Skills:

Algebraic expressions and formulae
5.1 using letters to represent numbers
5.2 interpreting notations:
- ab as a x b
- a/b as a ÷ b or a x 1/b
- a² as a x a, a³ as a x a x a, a²b as a x a x b,...
- 3y as y + y + y or 3 x y
- 3(x + y) as 3 x (x + y)
- 3 + y/5 as (3 + Y) ÷ 5 or 1/5 x (3 + y)
5.3 evaluation of algebraic expressions and formulae
5.4 translation of simple real-world situations into algebraic expressions
5.5 recognising and representing patterns/relationships by finding an algebraic expression for the nth term
5.6 addition and subtraction of linear expressions
5.7 simplification of linear expressions such as 2(x - 3y) 4x - 2(3x - 5) 3(x - y) - (2y + x)- y
5.8 Use spreadsheets, e.g. Microsoft Excel, to
- explore the concept of variables and evaluate algebraic expressions.
- compare and examine the differences between pairs of expressions, e.g. 2n and 2 + n, n² and 2n, 2n² and (2n)².
5.9 Use algebra discs or the AlgeDisc application in AlgeTools to make sense of and interpret linear expressions with integral coefficients, e.g. 4x - 3y and -3(x-2).
5.10 Use the AlgeDisc application in AlgeTools to construct and simplify linear expressions with integral coefficients.
5.11 Work in groups to select and justify pairs of equivalent expressions.
5.12 Write algebraic expressions to express mathematical relationships, e.g. for the statement "There are 3 times as many boys as girls", if we let x be the number of girls, then the number of boys is 3x. This can also be written as b= 3g, where b and g are the number of boys and girls respectively.
5.13 Explore number patterns and write algebraic expressions to represent the patterns.
