The document outlines a lesson agenda focused on algebraic expressions, including notes on translating verbal phrases into algebraic form and examples for various mathematical operations. Key phrases for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are provided along with guidance on expression formatting. Students are instructed to rewrite verbal expressions as algebraic expressions as part of their coursework.

1. Unit 5. Lesson 1.
Algebraic Expressions

2. Agenda
1. Write your notes about algebraic
expressions.
2. Work on CW 1. Algebraic
Expressions.
3. Access the EDIA practice.

3. Although they are closely
related, a Great Dane weighs
about 40 times as much as a
Chihuahua.
When solving real-world problems, you will need
to translate words, or verbal expressions, into
algebraic expressions.
An expression for the weight of the
Great Dane could be 40c, where c is the
weight of the Chihuahua.

4. Notes
In order to translate a word
phrase into an algebraic
expression, we must first
know some key word
phrases for the basic
operations.
