    Variable Expressions

    This lesson covers evaluating variable expressions with more than one variable and using order of operations.

  • 02

    Order of Operations

    This lesson covers the use of order of operations including powers and parentheses.

  • 03

    Comparing, Ordering and Rounding Decimals

    This lesson covers ordering decimals from least to greatest, comparing decimals with greater than or less than symbols and rounding to a specific place value.

  • 04

    Adding and Subtracting Decimals/Estimation

    This lesson covers estimating sums and differences by rounding to the nearest whole number, front-end estimation for adding multiple decimals and adding and subtracting decimals.

  • 05

    Multiplying Decimals

    This lesson covers multiplication of a whole number times a decimal, multiplying two decimals and estimating products using the leading digit.

  • 06

    Division of Decimals

    This lesson covers the division of decimals with a decimal dividend and whole number divisor and division of two decimals by dividing until a number terminates, repeats or needs to be rounded. This lesson will also cover estimation using compatible numbers.

  • 07

    Prime Factorization and Greatest Common Factor

    This lesson covers factoring and finding the greatest common factor using factor trees to establish prime factorization.

  • 08

    Least Common Multiple/Comparing and Ordering Fractions

    This lesson covers finding the least common multiple using factor trees to establish prime factorization and comparing fractions using greater than, less than or equal to, and ordering fractions from least to greatest.

  • 09

    Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers

    This lesson covers addition and subtraction of fractions and mixed numbers by finding a common denominator first, and then converting and reducing final sums. The lesson will also include subtraction where the first mixed number or whole number will need to be renamed.
