Unit 9
In this math unit, students begin by learning how to calculate expressions with bracketed bases raised to powers, focusing on understanding the order of operations and exponentiation. As they progress, they tackle more complex problems involving expanded bases with exponents and delve deeper into solving equations that include squares and square roots, advancing to scenarios requiring multiple-choice answers to identify correct numerical values for variables. Next, the unit addresses calculating and identifying perfect squares, including solving for integers whose squares yield specific perfect squares from equations, enhancing their grasp of numerical relationships and properties of squares. Thereafter, the unit revisits the order of operations in more complex algebraic scenarios involving multiplication, division, and exponents to refine procedural mathematical skills. Further, students practice algebraic function variable substitution, where they compute values for algebraic expressions with and without squared terms—this consolidates their understanding of algebraic manipulation. Lastly, they compare and sequence perfect squares, solidifying their understanding of squares in various numerical and algebraic contexts, building a comprehensive foundation in handling exponents and algebraic expressions.
