Connecting+Arithmetic+&+Algebra

UNIT: Connecting Arithmetic and Algebra I. **Learning Objective**: The student will: Evaluate variable expressions involving whole numbers. Evaluate variable expressions involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers and decimals. Evaluate variable expressions involving multiplication and division of whole numbers and decimals. Read problems for understanding. Use the comparison property to compare and order numbers. Recognize the properties of addition and use them to find sums mentally. Recognize the properties of multiplication and use them to find products mentally. Decide whether it would be most efficient to use mental math, paper and pencil or a calculator to solve a given problem. Compute with exponents and evaluate expressions involving exponents. Use the order of operations to compute and evaluate expressions.
