Smart Tutor’s Algebra curriculum is designed to help students understand patterns, relations, functions, use of models and algebraic symbols to analyze mathematical situations. Students learn to:
Sort, classify, and order objects by size, number, and other properties
Recognize, describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric patterns
Represent and analyze patterns and functions, using words, tables, and graphs
Identify such properties as commutativity, associativity, and distributivity and use them to compute with whole numbers
Represent the idea of a variable as an unknown quantity using a letter or a symbol
Express mathematical relationships using equations
Model problem situations with objects and use representations such as graphs, tables and equations to draw conclusions
Investigate how a change in one variable relates to a change in a second variable
