Identifying Big Ideas from Unwrapped Standards:
1. Identification and application of the properties allow for efficient solving of equations.
2. The order of operation allows for a common systematic process for solving equations.
3. Patterns are important for finding commonalities in nature and everyday life.
4. Mathematical symbols provide an abbreviated notation of mathematical vocabulary.
Essential Questions from Big Ideas to Guide Instruction and Assessment:
1. Why do I need to know which property to use and how to use it?
