Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students encounter expressions and equations that involve variables and exponents. Students first evaluate expressions for given values of their variables. Then students are presented with equations that contain a variable and a list of possible solutions. To identify which value makes each equation true, students may use substitution, consider the structure of the equations, or apply their understanding of exponents and operations (MP7).
- Describe (orally) the values that result from evaluating expressions in which a fraction is raised to a power.
- Determine whether a given value is a solution to an equation that includes an exponent.
- Evaluate expressions that have a variable, an exponent, and one other operation for a given value of the variable, carrying out the operations in the conventional order.
Let's investigate expressions with variables and exponents.
