Lucus, Tracy

Our math class will soon begin studying the unit entitled “The Number System.”
This unit addresses important California Common Core Standards in the Critical Areas of
applying understanding of operations to rational numbers and solving problems involving
algebraic expressions.
Domain 7.NS The Number System
Cluster Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to
add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers.
The unit also supports additional standards.
Domain 7.EE Expressions and Equations
Cluster Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic
expressions and equations.

Our study of this unit focuses on the essential questions listed below:
