TASKS/ACTIVITIES
Resources Introduction
& Time

Differentiation activities (Support)

Emergent activity:

In this activity, students will work individually. They will need more guidance to do this activity.
The teacher will give expression wheels to each student and ask the student to get the answer by
replacing the variable symbol by the number to get the correct answer and write it down.

Development Activity:

In this activity, the student will work in groups. The group will have many expressions cards
include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and use of parenthesis. the teacher will give
the students instruction how to evaluate expressions with variables with these cards. Each card
has an expression with a variable represented by a letter of the number. The student must find the
answer and write on the paper.

Master activity:

In this activity, the student will work in a group. The group will have a set of expressions inside
the cubes include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division also the set of variables on the
table students must throw the cubes and get one the expressions. Then the student uses this
expression with a variable represented by a letter of the number. The student must find the answer
and write on the paper.
