1. How to Evaluate Expressions with Substitution
In this lesson, we will review the definition of an algebraic expression and order of operations. We will then look at how to evaluate algebraic expressions using substitution and practice the process on multiple examples.
2. How to Simplify Expressions with Integers
After watching this video lesson, you will be able to simplify any integer expression by following the order of operations. Learn what to watch for and in what order to do your operations.
3. Practice Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
In this lesson, we'll practice simplifying a variety of algebraic expressions. We'll use two key concepts, combining like terms and the distributive property, to help us simplify.
4. Writing Equations with Inequalities: Open Sentences and True/False Statements
After watching this video lesson you will be able to write open sentences and true or false statements that use inequalities. You will also be able to solve and/or determine whether a particular inequality is true or false.
5. Representing Functions as Ordered Pairs
Functions are a mathematical concept that show up everywhere in the world around us. This lesson will use definitions and examples to show how to use ordered pairs to represent functions.
6. Graph Functions by Plotting Points
Let's say you have a function. What does it look like? How do you graph it? In this lesson, we'll learn how to graph functions by determining and plotting points.
