Students began our short unit on Translating Words into Algebraic Expressions today in class! We created a chart in our notebook categorizing all the words or phrases that would let us know what operation to include in our expression. Here is a picture of the chart they created today in their math notebooks:

We used this chart and worked about out about 18 word phrases and created an algebraic expression that reflected the words. It was tricky, especially those *Switch Phrases, but everyone seemed to understand by the end of the exercise!

No homework tonight! Go watch the National Championship Game!
