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.
