Mathematics Curriculum
Grade 8 Unit 5: Algebraic Expressions, Equations, Distributive Property with one and two variables
Essential Question(s) Enduring Understanding(s)What are the characteristics of linear equations?How do you solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations?
Linear equations are equations whose solutions fall on a line on the coordinate plane.Linear equations and pairs of linear equations can be solved by graphing.
Summative Assessment TaskSee attached document
Common Core Standards, 2010
Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations.
8. EE.7. Solve linear equations in one variable.
Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
8. EE.8. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.
Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.
Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by
inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.
W8.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content.

Identify what a variable and a constant is in an algebraic expression. Evaluate algebraic expressions with the given value of the variable. .
Catherine’s dance team is planning a spring trip to the coast. Catherine is saving money in a bank account to pay for the trip. Her parents started her account with $100. She sells Christmas plants and adds $2.50 to her account for each plant she sells.
How much will be in her account if she sells 50 plants?
Evaluate the expression for n = 10, n = 25, and n = 75
Students will complete a power point on linear equations where they will have one variable on both sides of the equation. Students will show how to identify solutions by seeing how each equation equals a different number.
Ask students for the meaning of the words variable and constant when it comes to a mathematical equation. (constant is a variable that does not change and a variable is a symbol for a quantity that is not fixed or yet known).
Remind students of a coefficient in front of a variable means to multiply.

Students will use laptops for help with interactive games to assist them in solving algebraic expressions.
Rubric will be given for grading policy.
Motivation:
Students will be shown a short clip about how negative distances are used to find how deep someone is able to swim. They will make the connection to how this is related to subtracting integers.
Instruction/Guided Practice:Students will be shown a PowerPoint where they are given the rules of subtraction, and how to subtract an integer by adding it’s opposite. They will also read a classroom poster that outlines the process of subtracting different combinations of positive and negative numbers.
The students will be asked several questions and asked to discuss possible solutions within their groups.
Independent Practice:Students will be given ten problems involving subtracting integers and asked to turn each one of those problems into an addition problem by adding it’s opposite.
Students will be asked to create a treasure map, of sorts, where they will need to give directions to find the treasure (solution).
This map will be the students own personal direction sheet on how to solve subtraction problems involving positive and negative integers.

Motivation:
Students will be given an example of how losing yards in successive plays of a football game can result in an expression solved by multiplying positive and negative integers.
Instruction/Guided Practice: Students will be shown a PowerPoint in which they will learn the rules of dividing and multiplying two integers. Once the students have practiced these problems and discussed the results they will be shown how to expand the process to problems with three or more integers.
Independent Practice:Students will be given ten problems that they will need to answer by using the rules of multiplying and dividing integers. Eight of the questions will involve only two integers while the other two will have four and five integers involved.
The teacher will use this time to work with certain individuals who are in need of extra help as shown by the previous day’s exit ticket or the group discussion during the instruction period of the lesson.
Once the allotted time is up the students will go to the board to share answers to certain problems and then discuss their process with the class. This procedure will further all student comprehension.
Group Work:Students will answer real world problem solving questions in small groups. Each group will be given two problems that they will need to answer in front of the class using the
document reader to share their work.Compare and order integers and to evaluate expressions containing absolute values. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers.

Show students how to use a number to compare integers at a time when ordering a set of integers. Use the number line to show the meaning of absolute value and additive inverse. Students will learn to add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers.
Students will also use integer chips to represent numbers. If there are no integer chips, use black and red checkers for assistance. Students will also write in their own words the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers.
Students will complete 50 problems of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers along with comparing integers on a number line. They will be shown the difference between inverse operations and opposite integers.
All work will be shown on a separate sheet of paper and submitted for a grade.

Students will be given ten problems that need to be simplified. They will be asked to choose at least 5 of the problems to simplify by combining like terms. Once the students have completed the questions they will be asked to display their work on the board and when called upon discuss with the class how they came to find their answer.
Students will work in groups of two that have been pre-determined by the teacher for this activity. Each student will write an algebraic expression involving two different variables. The students will then exchange their problems and attempt to simplify the problems. Students will be able to share strategies and ideas with each other while they solve their problems.
