Unit Title: Expressions and Equations Name: Stephani Park

Content Area: Math Grade Level:7
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.A.1
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.A.2
Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it
are related. For example, a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that "increase by 5%" is the same as "multiply by 1.05."
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.B.3
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers,
fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between
forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a
woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of
$27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar
about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.B.4
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve
problems by reasoning about the quantities.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.B.4.A
Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve
equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations
used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.B.4.B
Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q< r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the
solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week
plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and
describe the solutions.

Unit Summary:

Unit 3 is designed for math 7 students to become proficient at using properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
Students will apply applications from the number system using strategies of adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying, and apply it to
factoring and expanding expressions and forming expressions and equations. Students will learn to differentiate expressions, equations,
and inequalities. Students will understand that expressions form equations and inequalities. Students will solve real-life mathematical
problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. Students will solve a one-step equation, two-step equation, and
multi-step equation and expand its application to solving inequalities. By the end of the unit, students will become proficient at solving
expressions, equations, and inequalities.
