Using symbols and expressions to think mathematically resources

Students explore multiplicative relationships by completing multiplication equations.

Students explore multiplicative relationships by completing multiplication equations using a restricted range of numbers.

Students use addition and subtraction to solve story problems and show their equations.

Students evaluate and simplify algebraic expressions for the side lengths and perimeter of a composite shape. They then find x for a given perimeter.

Students write the simplest algebraic expressions for the lengths and area of parts of a composite shape, then solve these expressions using substitution. They then solve an equation that relates an algebraic expression to a given side length.
