Graphic Organizer Lesson

Students will work independently and create a concept map using popplet. The
concept map will help students develop understanding of algebraic expressions and
vocabulary. This assignment will be due by the next class period. The concept map
must include:
1. Definition of algebraic expression
2. The parts that make up an expression along with their definitions or examples
3. An example of an algebraic expression with its parts identified (Picture)
4. How can an algebraic expression be simplified
5. Include picture of Order of Operations
6. How an algebraic expression is evaluated
