7.EE.1: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add,
subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
Classroom expectation: Students will use content-specific vocabulary as they read algebraic expressions and write out the processes they use to add, subtract, factor, and expand those expressions.
Students will engage in learning and practice today by completing GoMath! Module 6 Lesson 1. This lesson supports what students have learned and practiced earlier in the week; the assignment may be accessed until 9 PM this evening: after that time, the teacher will review the data to determine which students need additional support.
The teacher will support student learning by working with small groups to review concepts that apply to this new topic but are still weak for many students (multiplying and dividing integers). In classes where more students are proficient in the previous standards taught, the teacher will support student learning by working in small groups with students who have already shown they need more support for the new topic. The teacher's goal with these small groups is to help them become peer tutoring groups that allow students to support each other in gaining proficiency.
