3/2 Lesson 6.1.2 Comparing Algebraic Expressions

1.  Warm up: SBAC problem

2.  Lesson 6.1.2 Comparing Algebraic Expressions

• Objective:  I will simplify Algebraic expressions using "legal moves"
• Problem #12 in pairs.  STOPLIGHT!  Don't move on until instructed to
• Problem #14 introduces a new legal move: Adding Like Terms

3.  Comparing Algebraic Expressions partner practice

• Partner A makes a (small) mess on Mat A.  Partner B makes a (small) mess on Mat B
• Both partners record BOTH Mats.
• Take turns simplifying the expressions using "legal moves".
• Record each step on your paper
• Can you conclude which Mat is greater?  If not, give an example of when Mat A would be greater and when Mat B would be greater.
