  1. 01

    Variables, expressions, and one-step structure

    80 checks
    • Represent unknowns with variables and expressions.
    • Use properties to simplify expressions without changing meaning.

    Practice: Translate five word contexts into expressions and label the quantity each variable represents.

  2. 02

    Equations, inequalities, and checks

    80 checks
    • Solve one-step, two-step, and multi-step equations.
    • Graph and interpret inequalities in context.

    Practice: Solve a mixed equation set and verify every answer in the original statement.

  3. 03

    Linear tables, graphs, slope, and intercepts

    80 checks
    • Connect rate of change and initial value across tables, graphs, equations, and stories.
    • Interpret slope and intercepts using units.

    Practice: Compare two linear models and write which has the greater rate of change with graph evidence.

  4. 04

    Systems and word-problem modeling

    80 checks
    • Solve simple systems by graphing, substitution, or elimination.
    • Use systems to model comparisons and break-even situations.

    Practice: Write and solve a system from a school event or pricing situation, then check the solution in words.
