Learners solve problems using PEMDAS. In this algebraic equations lesson, students evaluate expressions using real number properties. They play "Math Jeopardy" to reinforce the order of operations.

Learners solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

Learners graph and order numbers using a number line. They also solve word problems using fractions and decimals and rewrite equations to solve problems correctly. Several example word problems are given.
