Plans may change day to day depending on students.

Standards: Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

MGSE7.EE.1 Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
MGSE7.EE.2 Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can clarify the problem and how the quantities
in it are related.
MGSE7.EE.3 Solve multi step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole
numbers, fractions, and decimals) by applying properties of operations as strategies to calculate with numbers, converting between forms as
appropriate, and assessing the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. MGSE7.EE.4 Use variables to
represent quantities in a real‐world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning
about the quantities.
MGSE7.EE.4a Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational
numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the
operations used in each approach.
MGSE7.EE.4b Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational
numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem.
MGSE7.EE.4c Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x+p = q and px = q in which p and
q are rational numbers.
