The document provides instructions for an activity where students will learn to write variable expressions and equations. It explains that students will be split into groups and asked to categorize vocabulary words related to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division under the proper category. They will then work to write phrases as variable expressions and sentences as equations. The goal is for students to learn how to use variable expressions and equations to model real world situations.

1. Learning Target:Students will learn how to write variable expressions and equations as a way to model real world situations.

2. Vocabulary Card Task You will be split into 6 groups You have 4 category cards Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division Place the rest of the vocabulary cards under the proper category as a group Everyone in the group must agree Then we will put our results on the board and see if we all agree

3. Addition Plus The sum of Increased by Total Added to More than

4. Subtraction Minus The difference of Decreased by Fewer than Less than Subtracted from

5. Multiplication Times The product of Multiplied by Of Twice

6. Division Divided by The quotient of Separate into equal parts

7. Write the phrase as a variable expression. The total of 10 and a number n. 16 decreased by a number d a number y divided by 3 Four fewer than a number g Seven more than a number k 7 times a number y 10 subtracted from a number m

8. Answers 10 + n 16 – d y/3 g – 4 k + 7 7y m – 10

9. Write the phrase as an expression. Let x represent the number. 25 divided by the number of inches Twice the number of people

10. Answers 25 / x 2x

11. Write the sentence as an equation. A number n added to 4 is 11. The quotient of x and 96 is 8. A number p times 3 is 36. Twelve minus a number q is 2.

12. Answers 4 + n = 11 X / 96 = 8 3p = 36 or 3(p) = 36 or 3 p = 36 12 – q = 2
