This math unit starts with foundational algebra concepts, encouraging students to develop algebraic thinking through balance problems and simple substitutions without explicitly introducing variables and equations. As the unit progresses, students move on to solving linear equations by isolating one variable and manipulating three-term equations using basic arithmetic operations including addition and subtraction. The unit further deepens comprehension of algebra by introducing variable substitution in simple algebraic expressions and balancing equations from visual cues. Later, students engage with the manipulation and evaluation of algebraic functions involving negative integers, fractions, and bracketed squared terms. The curriculum culminates in calculating exponents, solidifying an understanding of advanced algebraic operations. Throughout this progression, the focus shifts from intuitive problem-solving and basic operations to complex algebraic manipulations and computational skills in various algebraic contexts.
