When we first learn arithmetic, we focus on working with whole numbers. Then, we extend our understanding to fractions and negative numbers.
In algebra, we transfer these same skills to expressions involving variables. What elementary skills have you used so far in this course, and how have you extended them?
Give an example from your life experience (outside of school) where it was important to understand fractions. Eg; how many cups of walnuts does she need for five pans of fudge?
