There are 16 career clusters leading to various career pathways. Instructors can incorporate these clusters into curriculum design and instruction. Adult education services will include workforce preparation activities and training for specific occupations; this will allow students to achieve their educational and career goals. For a listing and description of these career clusters, please click on the link below.
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Translate words into expressions
Solve expressions from given variables
Student Target
“I can translate and solve expressions from given variables.”
CCR Focus Standards
Algebra and Functions - Level C
Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation “Subtract y from 5” as 5 – y.
Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
Algebra and Functions - Level D
Supporting Standards
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. (MP.1)
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (MP.2)
Attend to precision. (MP.6)
KYAE Employability Standards
E.1 Effectively contribute to a team through cooperation, leadership, and giving and accepting critical feedback to work toward a common goal.
E.6 Identify and effectively use skills and materials needed for a particular task.
E.7 Accurately analyze information and respond appropriately.
