• Components of an Expression (CPE1)

• Context of Expressions (CTE1, CTE2, & CTE3)

By the end of this unit students will be able to say:

• I Can... Classify Numbers.

• I Can... Explain when a set is closed.

• I Can... Explain the properties of Rational Numbers.

• I Can... Identify: Terms, Coefficients, & Variables in an algebraic expression.
