Description
In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students use an interactive pan balance to practice the order of operations in simplifying numerical expressions and to demonstrate the conventions of using algebraic logic in simplifying expressions. They develop algebraic understanding as expressions are simplified and recorded, step by step.
