Properties of Arithmetic
Our class objective today is to be able to analyze scenarios and determine which student/teacher selected the correct answer. You will also be required to defend your position by using one of the mathematical properties that we learned about earlier in the week. We will be using the E-Book that we created early in the week as a resource to help us with our decision making. 7C will be using the E-Book that 7D created while 7D will be using the E-book that 7C created.
We will be split up into groups of eight groups of four. Before we start I will break you up into your groups and assign you your group’s iPad. Your group will be responsible for your iPad so please treat it and your classmates with respect. Make sure that everyone has a chance to participate and use the iPad at least once. The E-Books will already open in Safari but if for whatever reason you need to access them or would like to download them to have a copy for yourself, you can find them using the links below.
To complete our objective for today your group will need to complete this form. Each question will ask your group to determine which person had the correct response. In addition to selecting the correct response you will also need to defend your position. In your justification you will need to include the name of the property you used. You will also need to identify the mistake that the teacher/student made. Each group will only have to submit this form once.
Below is an example of an advanced level justification.
Your group will be graded using the rubric below.
Standards Covered:
Algebra and Functions 1.4 Use algebraic terminology (e.g., variable, equation, term, coefficient, inequality, expression, constant) correctly.

Well What I learned this week with Mr.Bradford was how to use Properties of Arithmetic, also Commutative and Associative Property
Well what I learned in ALEKS, well what I’ve done, was to complete my addition quick tables.
One thing I want to improve on this week, is to raise up my grade to a 4 or 5. I would also like to improve on my Arithmetic Problems. One thing I improved on this week was my Commutative and Associative Properties. My goal for next week is to, work really hard to earn a better grade in this class.
