Unit 3: Ratios and Percentages

✓
Students evaluate a whole-number exponent in the Basic Skills Review (Question 2 asks to compute 6^4 with the answer key showing 1,296). Students set up and solve expressions with a variable when using tape diagrams (answer key shows 4x + 3x = 91 and solves for x). Students use tables and graphs to find corresponding values for proportional relationships (e.g., fill table entries and determine how long to print 16 key chains or how many lemons for 4 pitchers), which requires computing outputs for given inputs.
✓
Students translate percentage word sentences into number sentences using a variable (n) and the formula part = percent × whole. Students set up and compute expressions such as 32 = 0.64x leading to x = 50, n = 6/100 × 150 = 9 (sales tax), and other percent-of problems. Students solve real-world percent problems (discounts, tax, test scores, attendance) by evaluating the numeric expressions that arise from those formulas.
✓
Students translate word sentences into number sentences and evaluate expressions such as n = 28% × 200 (finding 56), 17 = 85% × n (solving for n), and 37 = n% × 50 (finding the percent). Students compute unit rates and unit prices by substituting numbers into expressions and carrying out arithmetic (for example, 5.16 ÷ 4 = 1.29 and 19 ÷ 2 = 9.5). The practice problems require forming and evaluating simple algebraic expressions that arise from real-world contexts like percentages, rates, and unit conversions.
✓
Students set up and evaluate numeric expressions when finding unit price by dividing total price by number of units (e.g., $3.38 ÷ 13 = $0.26/oz). Students evaluate percent expressions in the coupon activity by computing 10/100 × (weekly cost) to find savings (example: 10/100 × $200 = $20). Students also substitute numeric values to scale recipes and distances (doubling/tripling ingredient ratios; 1 mile/6 minutes scaled to 6 miles/36 minutes) and compute products when converting units (e.g., 12 × 8 = 96 fl oz).
Unit 4

Unit 4: Algebraic Expressions

✓
Students evaluate expressions with specific variable values in multiple places: Cassandra uses A = s^2 with s = 3 and s = 4 to find areas, and the Using Exponents activity asks for the volume V = s^3 when s = 5. Students compute numerical exponential expressions (e.g., 10^2 × 2^3, (1/3)^2 + (1/2)^3, (2.1)^2 − (0.4)^2) and solve order-of-operations problems that include exponents (e.g., 8 × 3^2 + 6 ÷ (4 − 2)). Real-world/formula contexts appear in problems about a square patio, cube volume, poster areas, and Jackson's batting time (20n) with specific n values.
✓
Students practice evaluating expressions by substituting specific values for variables in Activity 3 (e.g., n + 6 with n = 4; 5 + 4y with y = 6 and y = 8). They apply the order of operations explicitly (PEMDAS) when evaluating expressions and work with whole-number exponents in examples such as (n - 3)^2 + 4 and a^2 - 2. The student activity pages include real-world formula-style expressions (Matt's pay 5 + 4y, Josie's earnings 3n) that students evaluate for given variable values.
✓
Students evaluate an expression with a given variable value in the Basic Skills Review (evaluate n - 14 when n = 25). Students practice order-of-operations problems with mixed operations and parentheses (e.g., 5 + 8 × 4 − (9 × 7 − 3) − 24). Students simplify and combine like terms, including terms that use whole-number exponents as part of variable expressions (e.g., 5m^2 + 8m^2).
✓
Students substitute given values for variables and evaluate expressions in multiple places (for example, evaluating 4n - 3 when n = 5 and evaluating x^2 + 3x + 12 when x = 2). Students use evaluation to prove equivalence of expressions by substituting the same number into both the original and simplified forms (e.g., 5(x+3)+2x-12 and 7x+3 evaluated at x=5). Students also form expressions from real-world contexts (Tessa's cost, Raoul's earnings, playground area 5(n+2)) and evaluate those expressions for specified variable values.
✓
Students repeatedly evaluate expressions at given variable values (e.g., Section 4 asks students to evaluate expressions if x = 5; Problem 11 evaluates expressions if x = 2; other items evaluate with x = 3 and n = 5). Students evaluate exponential expressions (e.g., (3)^2, (0.2)^1, 4^3, 0^4, and other exponent problems) and evaluate combined expressions that require applying exponents and arithmetic (e.g., c·4^2 + 2^2, 8(x+5)-20-4x). Students also evaluate expressions that arise from real-world contexts and formulas by substituting numbers (e.g., Tasha's shells, Kelsey's cookies, Jeremiah's earnings, Alana's bead problem is evaluated at x = 10).
✓
Students simplify and then evaluate expressions by substituting specific values in the "Prove It! Equivalencies" task (example: evaluating 6 + 4n at n = 2). Students create and evaluate exponential expressions in the "Exponent Matching" activity (e.g., (1/5)^3 = 1/125 and (1.2)^2 = 1.44). Students design a PEMDAS flyer, which requires them to apply and demonstrate the conventional order of operations when evaluating expressions. The parent/skills list and several activities (Make a Quiz, Create a GoFish! game) explicitly ask students to work with exponents, combine like terms, and evaluate numerical expressions at given values.
Unit 5

Unit 5: Algebraic Equations

✓
Students repeatedly substitute given numeric values for variables and evaluate to see if equations are true (e.g., evaluate 2x + 12 = 18 for x = 2 and x = 3; substitute n = 8 and n = 6 into 36 - 4n = 12). Multiple student activity pages ask students to choose or write the value that makes an equation true and to evaluate expressions after substitution. The lesson explicitly tells students to apply the order of operations (PEMDAS) and includes problems with whole-number exponents and mixed operations (e.g., 3^2, 2^x * 3^2, and 3(4+9)-10+2*5).
✓
Students practice substituting numeric values for variables and evaluating the resulting expressions to check solutions (for example, evaluating n + 2 = 5 by substituting n = 3 and verifying 3 + 2 = 5, and checking 2x + 4 = x + 6 with x = 2 to get 8 = 8). Student activity pages explicitly ask students to evaluate expressions after solving equations (e.g., "Evaluate p + 3 = 8 if p = 5") and to check solutions for word-problem equations such as 16 + n = 72. Several practice problems require simplifying and evaluating linear expressions (for example, problems that involve combining terms and substituting numeric answers on the activity pages).
✓
Students substitute numeric values for variables to evaluate and check expressions (examples: Evaluate 2n = 8 if n = 4; 10/2 = 5; 6(3) = 18). Students write equations from real-world contexts (plant growth 5n = 40, Emma's plates, birdseed, canoeing, car washing) and then solve and evaluate the resulting expressions. Multiple activity pages require students to compute variable values and check their answers by substitution, reinforcing evaluation at specific variable values.
✓
Students practice substituting a found value into an expression to check solutions (e.g., substituting n = 3 into 2n + 5 = 11 and checking 6 + 5 = 11). Students evaluate expressions that arise from real-world word problems by writing equations from scenarios (snowfall, granola bars, pens, flour, cookies) and solving for the variable. Students work with numeric evaluations that include integers, decimals, and fractions when they check solutions (examples: 8n + 0.6 = 3 leading to n = 0.3; fraction examples showing arithmetic to verify results).
✓
Students substitute specific numbers for variables and evaluate the resulting expressions (for example, substituting x = 4 into 2x + 6 > 10 and simplifying to 14 > 10). Students practice checking candidate values for inequalities on worksheets (e.g., circling which of given numbers make p + 1 ≥ 5 or 2n ≥ 8 true). Students use guess-and-check to produce values that satisfy algebraic expressions (e.g., find valu<s for 2y + 4 < 20).
✓
Students are instructed to use substitution to check solutions by selecting a value from the solution set and substituting it into the original inequality (multiple places in the activity instructions and Parent Plan). The student activity pages explicitly tell students to check their answer by choosing a value from the solution set and substituting it into the original inequality to show it is true. The Parent Plan skills list includes 'Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an inequality true.'
✓
Students repeatedly substitute numerical values into two-variable equations to find the other variable (e.g., 10x = y with x = 20 to get y = 200; 2x - 4 = y with y = 6 to find x = 5). Students translate real-world situations into linear formulas and evaluate them (Kevin earns $10/hour → 10x = y; Ron bikes 5 mph → 5x = y; recipe cookies → y = 15x) and use tables and graphs from those formulas. The Basic Skills Review asks students to evaluate an expression with a whole-number exponent (evaluate x^2 + 5x - 6 when x = 3), requiring exponent computation during evaluation.
✓
Students create tables and compute values for linear expressions (for example, rewriting y + 5 - 2x = 6 to y = 2x + 1 and filling a table of x and y values). Students write equations from word problems and substitute specific numbers to find variable values (for example, daffodil/tulip problem, Jenna swimming, Dominic's weight). Students solve numeric equations that require evaluating expressions at given values (for example n/3 = 4, x + 3.8 = 9.2, 2(y + 1/2) = 13).
✓
Students create and solve equations and inequalities that represent real-world personal facts (age, money, time, distance) and are asked to produce at least 5–7 equations and 4–6 inequalities. Students create and use a two-variable equation (example: 2x = y) and solve for one variable given a value of the other (e.g., find x when y = 4). Students are explicitly instructed to check solutions by plugging answers into the original equations or inequalities to verify accuracy.
Unit 6

Unit 6: 2D Geometry

✓
Students write equations that represent angle relationships (e.g., n + 2n = 90 and 5n = n + 92) and solve those equations to find variable values. Students substitute the found values into expressions (for example, 5(23) = 115 and 2(30) = 60) to determine actual angle measures. Student activity pages require forming and evaluating linear expressions such as 2n - 10, n - 25, and 3n when n is solved.
✓
Students apply area formulas (A = l × w, A = b × h, A = 1/2 × b × h) by substituting numeric measurements to compute areas in multiple real-world problems (e.g., pool: 52×40 − 6×6; sails: 1/2×18×8 and 1/2×15×6; paver problem using 24n = 4320). Students also set up and solve simple algebraic equations that arise from formulas (Omar's parallelogram 15×n = 75 and solve for n). The lesson repeatedly has students evaluate these formula-based expressions with given numeric values and perform the arithmetic to find areas and counts.
✓
Students substitute numeric values into the circle formulas C = πd, C = 2πr, and A = πr^2 and compute results in multiple activities (e.g., Activity 2 example: diameter 6 in → 3.14 × 6 = 18.84; Activity 4 example: radius 9 in → 9^2 = 81 then 3.14 × 81 = 254.34). Several real-world problems require evaluating formulas at given variable values (pool diameter 25 ft, rubber seal radius 2.5 in, tablecloth diameter 8 ft, rug radius 3 ft). Students perform arithmetic with decimals and a whole-number exponent (square the radius) and are instructed to include units in their answers.
✓
Students solve proportions to find actual measurements from scale drawings (for example, using 1 in : 5 ft to find a 6 in drawing corresponds to 30 ft and 4 in to 20 ft). Students compute perimeters and areas numerically (for example, A = 8 × 6 = 48 ft² and A = 16 × 12 = 192 ft²) and solve simple equations such as 28n = 56 to compare scale changes. Students calculate scale factors as ratios and convert them to percentages (examples show 3/1 → 300% and 1/4 → 25%) and use the square of the scale factor to determine how area changes.
✓
Students compute numeric values from formulas in real-world contexts: they evaluate circle area A = πr^2 for a fire ring (diameter 4 ft → r = 2) and use circumference C = πd to find distances around rims. Students substitute given measurements into area formulas (triangle 1/2·b·h, parallelogram b·h, trapezoid decomposition) and compute numeric results for quilting, patio, and kite problems. Students calculate scale-factor effects on perimeter and area, explicitly squaring the scale factor to find area ratios and computing numeric scaled dimensions.
✓
Students are asked to 'apply area formulas in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems' and to 'find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons' by decomposing shapes. The 'Real-Life Area Problem' activity has students create and solve area problems using models and drawings, which can involve using formulas and variables. The 'Ideas to Think About' prompt explicitly asks, 'What could a variable represent in a geometry problem?' and planning sheets prompt students to write problem text that could include formula-based tasks.
Unit 7

Students write Euler's formula F + V - E = 2 and use a letter to represent an unknown (F) when given V and E. They substitute numeric values into the formula (F + 5 - 8 = 2), combine like terms (F - 3 = 2), and perform inverse operations to solve for F = 5. The activity asks students to record faces, vertices, and edges and to apply the formula to verify F + V - E = 2 for various solids.
✓
Students substitute numerical values into formulas such as SA = 6s^2 and compute results (examples show 6(3^2) = 54 and SA = 6(5^2) = 150). Students plug length, width, and height into the rectangular prism formula SA = 2LW + 2LH + 2WH and carry out the arithmetic (e.g., 2(10×6)+2(10×5)+2(6×5)=280).

Activity 3 has students evaluate whole-number exponents by computing V = s^3 for s = 1 1/3 and other cube examples (e.g., 5^3 = 125). Multiple real-world word problems (Kayne's aquarium, mailing boxes, craft-cube boxes) require students to plug given dimensions into formulas and perform the arithmetic to find volumes.
✓
Students substitute numeric values into geometric formulas and compute results in real-world contexts (e.g., Archie: V = 5 × 4 × 4 = 80 in^3, then 80 × 8 = 640 in^3). They evaluate cube volumes by repeated multiplication (Box A: V = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512; Bentley: V = 15 × 15 × 15 = 3,375) and use the surface-area formula with an exponent (SA = 6s2) to solve 864 = 6s2 and find s = 12. Students also set up and simplify expressions with variables in context (54 = L × 4 1/2 × 2 simplified to 54 = 9L and L = 6).
✓
Students plug numeric values into geometric formulas such as V = s3 and SA = 6s2 (e.g., SA and volume calculations for cubes with s = 6 and s = 12). Students evaluate volumes using fractional edge lengths (e.g., V = 3/4 × 1/2 × 4 4/5 = 1 4/5) and compute surface area and paint requirements for a rectangular prism with fractional dimensions (Kareem problem). Real-world formula use appears in multiple tasks: determining cans of paint from surface area, finding prism length from base area and volume, and computing boxes covered by decorative paper (SA = 6s2 with s = 5).
✓
Students choose three preprinted nets, measure side lengths (rounding to the nearest 1/2 unit), and use the provided formulas (for example V = s^3, V = l × w × h, V = B × h and SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, 6s^2, area formulas for rectangles/triangles) to calculate surface area and volume. The activity pages and answer key show students evaluating those formulas with specific numeric values (e.g., 6(4^2) = 96, s^3 = 4^3 = 64, and calculations for triangular prism volume and surface area). Students apply these calculations in the context of a model-building project, using the formulas that arise from that real-world task.

The answer key explicitly shows substitution, use of whole-number exponents, and arithmetic carried out in the conventional order.
✓
Students compute means by adding data values and dividing by the sample size (e.g., 75 ÷ 10 = 7.5 and 96 ÷ 10 = 9). Students calculate mean absolute deviation by finding distances from the mean, summing them, and dividing by 10 (e.g., MAD = 10 ÷ 10 = 1.0). Students evaluate the expression (larger mean − smaller mean) ÷ (higher MAD) in context (e.g., (9.0 − 7.5) ÷ 1.2 = 1.25) to compare populations.

Students calculate unit rates from real-world examples (earnings $10 per hour, 120 miles in 3 hours, cost per pound) by dividing y by x and use those values to evaluate and graph linear expressions (Activities 1 and 2). Several student pages require computing y-values for given x-values and writing equations in the form y = kx (Activity 4).
✓
Students repeatedly evaluate linear expressions at specific x-values by creating tables from equations like y = 3x, y = 5x, y = 0.6x, y = 2x, and y = 60x and plotting the resulting (x,y) pairs (e.g., tables showing (1,3),(2,6),(3,9)). Activities ask students to find unit rates by dividing y by x (e.g., 300 ÷ 5 = 60) and to identify the slope m in equations written as y = mx, which requires computing y for given x-values. Several student pages explicitly direct students to fill in tables of values and graph points generated by substituting specific x values into given equations.
✓
Students set y = 0 and solve for x and set x = 0 and solve for y in multiple equations (for example 3x - 6y = 12, y = 5x + 10, x + 5y = 10), explicitly evaluating expressions at specific variable values to find intercepts. Students evaluate linear expressions such as y = 5x + 10 at x = 0 to find the y-intercept and substitute y = 0 into equations to solve for x-intercepts. Students also plot the computed ordered pairs and connect them to form lines, reinforcing the connection between evaluated values and graphs.
✓
Students use the slope formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) by selecting two lattice points, counting rise and run, and substituting the coordinate values to compute a numerical slope. Student activity pages require filling in RISE and RUN from given point pairs (for example, (2,3) and (6,7)) and simplifying the resulting fraction (e.g., +4/+4 = 1). The answer key and practice problems show students performing the arithmetic operations needed to evaluate the slope expression for specific variable values.

Students substitute numerical values into linear expressions (y = mx + b) to solve for unknowns (e.g., plug x, y, and m into y = mx + b to find b in Activity 6). Students create and use real-world linear formulas (e.g., y = 10x + 50) and plot points, which requires computing y for given x values when graphing scenarios in Activity 8. Students use tables of values to determine slope and then write and graph the corresponding equation, which involves evaluating the expression for specific x entries.
✓
Students set up and work with linear expressions from real-world contexts (e.g., writing equations like y = 12x, y = 60x, y = 15x + 10, and 30 + 10x = 80) and compute numerical results for money problems (discounts and taxes such as $90 - 30% = $63 and $150 + 6.5% = $159.75). Students identify slope and y-intercept from equations and graphs and graph linear relationships from tables of values (e.g., hours vs. earnings, days vs. cost). Multiple problems require evaluating numeric expressions that arise from those real-world formulas to find prices, totals, or unknown quantities.
✓
Students write and use linear formulas such as y = mx to model distance and solve equations like 500 = 60x to find travel time, and they write and evaluate cost formulas in the form y = mx + b (for example y = 0.15x + 31.50) and compute total costs for a 500-mile trip. Students substitute specific values (e.g., x = 500) into those formulas and carry out arithmetic (multiplication, division, addition, percentages) to produce numeric answers (times and dollar amounts). Students also set two cost equations equal to each other and solve for x to find a break-even distance (x = 215).
Unit 4

Unit 4: Probability

✓
Students compute expected counts by multiplying a probability by a number of trials in multiple places (e.g., P(2) = 1/6 × 120 = 20; 1/6 × 30 = 5; 1/3 × 90 = 30; 1/8 × 64 = 8). Students also form probability models as fractions or decimals (e.g., Choir = 16/34 ≈ 0.47) and use those numerical probabilities to answer real-world questions (e.g., expected number called or expected counts over many trials).
✓
Students are given and use the percentage formula Percentage = (Number of dogs in the group / 60) × 100 and compute concrete examples such as (Small, Brown): 3/60 × 100 = 5% and (Medium, White): 9/60 × 100 = 15%. Students fill out a Probability Model table by writing each size+color combination and calculating the percentage for each one, substituting the actual counts from the shelter data. Students also map probabilities to simulation rules (e.g., assigning die faces based on the computed percentage) and perform the corresponding arithmetic to run the simulations.

✓
Students substitute specific input values into function rules and compute outputs in multiple places (e.g., Activity 2: y = 2x + 6 with x = 1, 0, -2, 5; y = (x+3)/2 with various inputs). Students evaluate expressions that include whole-number exponents (e.g., y = x^2 - 2, tables and graphing activities where students compute x^2 then subtract) and complete input/output tables by performing the arithmetic operations in sequence. Several activities require students to fill tables, carry out the operations, and plot the resulting coordinate pairs.
✓
Students are given equations (e.g., y = 2x + 4, y = x^2, y = x^3 - x, y = x^2 + 6) and prompted to plug in specified x-values and fill tables with the resulting y-values. Tables and activity pages require students to compute y-values for powers (squares and cubes) and use those computed values to decide whether a relationship is linear or nonlinear. Parent-facing text explicitly cites A = s^2 as an example, showing an instance of a real-world formula (area) included in the material.
✓
Students set a variable to a specific value and evaluate the resulting expression when finding intercepts from equations (for example, setting x = 0 to find the y-intercept and y = 0 to find the x-intercept in 2y + 3x = 4 and y = 2x + 3). Students perform arithmetic operations (substitution, multiplication, addition/subtraction, and division) to solve for the remaining variable and record coordinate answers.

Students rearrange and evaluate linear equations (e.g., 4x + 2y = -8 rewritten and simplified to y = -2x - 4) and simplify expressions after distributing (e.g., y + 2 = -2(x - 3) → y = -2x + 4). Students also pick values from tables and plug them into the slope formula to calculate numerical slopes.
✓
Students repeatedly substitute specific x and y values into linear expressions (y = mx + b). For example, Activity 1 and multiple Graph-to-Equation and Table-to-Equation tasks have students compute slope from two points, plug m and b into y = mx + b, and evaluate y for given x; Activity 5 has students substitute x, y, and m to solve for b. The Cumulative Unit Quiz asks students to fill a table for y = 3x + 1 and to find y when x = 4 for y = x + 2, requiring direct evaluation of expressions at specific variable values.

Students read and use linear equations in context (y = −3x + 100) to identify the value at x = 0 and determine starting amounts.

Students evaluate expressions that include whole-number exponents when they complete Problem 17, filling a table for the rule y = x^2 - 2 with x = 0, 1, 2, 3 and produce y-values [−2, −1, 2, 7]. Students also identify nonlinear expressions involving exponents in multiple-choice items (e.g., selecting y = x^2 + 2 as nonlinear). The parent-facing skills list and examples reference A = s^2 as an example of a nonlinear function, providing additional explicit mention of squaring as an operation to use.
✓
Students are asked to "plug in a value and solve" on the Blue Cards and to "complete a missing value" on the Green Cards, requiring substitution of specific numbers into expressions. The Yellow Cards give real-world scenarios (e.g., Emma earns $10 per hour; determine earnings for 5 hours; temperature drops 3° per hour; determine temperature after 4 hours) that ask students to write equations from stories and calculate outputs for given inputs. The game play requires students to solve card problems and check answers, so students repeatedly evaluate expressions and formulas arising from context.
