2. March: Independence Part I: Increasing Independence at Home, School, Community
Operations
Rationale: Students will learn the steps and symbols to build and solve math equations. Students will have the opportunity to explain
the problem solving process using mathematical terms. Students will learn how to use a combination of math systems (add/subtract,
multiply/divide) to solve a problem. Students will learn the importance of using math equations in real world settings.

Scaffolding
● What does each of the following math terms mean “sum”, “difference” “product” “quotient”, “equivalent”?
● How do I use keywords to solve a math word problem?
● What are the rules to solve a multi-step problem?
● Why is it important to follow the PEMDAS rule when solving equations?
