Common Core Standards
Expressions and Equations
Well, they've done it. Students have overcome all the arithmetic obstacles of elementary school, and they've finally made it to the base of Mount Algebra. Tell them to tighten their shoelaces and stock up on trail mix; it's a long way up.
In these standards, students will gather the building blocks they need for all algebraic concepts in the future—from variables and expressions to one- and two-variable equations.
