This math unit opens with foundational algebraic concepts, beginning with solving basic linear equations with one variable. As the unit progresses, the focus shifts towards more complex operations involving algebraic fractions, where students first learn to solve and simplify equations with fractions and eventually handle advanced fraction manipulations, including those with multiple variables. The unit proceeds to expand into polynomial manipulation, targeting skills from expanding expressions with a single variable multiplied by bracketed terms to handling polynomials involving multiple variables. Students practice distributing variables across terms and simplifying the resulting expressions—a vital skill for more advanced studies in algebra. Towards the end of the unit, the emphasis is on multiplying bracketed terms—both with the same and different variables—to reinforce understanding of the distributive property and improve the ability to expand and manipulate polynomial expressions. The unit concludes with exercises that involve solving for integer pairs that meet specific conditions, synthesizing earlier concepts with integer properties and polynomial reasoning.
