Mathematics Unit Plan

While first using the PLAY website I found myself a little confused how to complete each task.  As I continued to familiarize myself with the different functions and as I got more comfortable with the website creating my canvas was not as difficult as I originally expected it to be.  When trying to summarize my unit I found it hard to narrow the standards down to which ones would be in this unit.  Throughout this unit the students will be introduced to two algebraic expressions and solving for when they are equal.  This also introduces a new idea of solving an equation for the value of a variable that makes the statement true.  The students will also be introduced to using variables as a representation and writing expressions in order to solve a problem. The idea of a balance scale is used throughout the unit for the students to visual equality throughout both sides of an equation.  Graphs are also used to show the intersection of two expressions represents where the expressions are equal.
