Topic:
Rational Expressions
Overall expectations:
Demonstrate basic number sense.
Understand pattern and can make
predictions over patterns
Write and simplify math expressions for
application
Success Criteria:
Knowledge
– substitute into and evaluate
algebraic expressions involving
exponents (i.e., evaluate expressions
involving natural-number exponents
with rational-number bases [e.g.,
evaluate 3 by hand and 9.83 by using a
calculator])
Thinking describe the relationship
between the algebraic and geometric
representations of a single-variable
term up to degree three
Specific Expectations:
Demonstrate basic number sense.
Understand pattern and can make predictions over patterns
Write and simplify math expressions for application
Lesion Goals:
describe the relationship between the algebraic and geometric representations of a singlevariable term up to degree three
derive, through the investigation and examination of patterns, the exponent rules for
multiplying and dividing monomials
apply these rules in expressions involving one and two variables with positive exponents
Communication derive, through the
investigation and examination of
patterns, the exponent rules for
multiplying and dividing monomials,
and apply these rules in expressions
involving one and two variables with
positive exponents
extend the multiplication rule to derive and understand the power of a power rule
apply it to simplify expressions involving one and two variables with positive exponents.
Application extend the multiplication
rule to derive and understand the
power of a power rule, and apply it to
simplify expressions involving one and
two variables with positive exponents.
