In this math unit, students begin by expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions focusing on multiplying bracketed terms with the same variable, setting a foundational understanding of polynomial operations. They then progress to evaluating algebraic expressions through variable substitution, dealing initially with simple and negative terms, and advancing to more complex situations involving squared terms and negative coefficients. The practice intensifies as students substitute values into multiple fractional squared and bracketed squared terms, reinforcing their capacity to manage and compute expressions under specified conditions. Further advancing their algebraic skills, students practice solving basic linear equations to isolate variables, first with two terms and progressing to three terms, enhancing their handling of various algebraic functions. The unit culminates with advanced algebra concepts where students translate balanced shapes into equations, focusing on establishing and solving ratios, and involves visual and analytical skills by substituting and subtracting to find solutions in complex algebraic contexts. This flow from foundational polynomial operations to complex variable substitution and application in real-world contexts challenges students to deepen their understanding and proficiency in algebra.
