Checks for Understanding (Formative/Summative Assessment)
0606.3.1	2 Step Linear - Write and solve two-step linear equations corresponding to given situations (non-negative numbers only).
0606.3.2	1 Step Inequality - Write and solve one-step inequalities corresponding to given situations (non-negative numbers only).
0606.3.3	Juxtaposition - Recognize the use of juxtaposition (such as 3x, ab) to stand for multiplication, and the convention in these cases of writing numbers before letters.
0606.3.4	Measurement - Generate data and graph relationships concerning measurement of length, area, volume, weight, time, temperature, money, and information.
0606.3.5	Properties - Use the commutative, associative and distributive properties to show that two expressions are equivalent.
0606.3.6	Table/Graph - Use equations to describe simple relationships shown in a table or graph.
0606.3.7	Representation - Move fluently between different representations (such as verbal, tabular, numerical, algebraic, and graphical) of equations and expressions.
0606.3.8	Patterns - Represent patterns using words, graphs, and simple symbolic notation.
0606.3.9	Contextual - Write a contextual story modeled by a given graph.
0606.3.10	Ordered Pair - Understand that in an ordered pair (x, y), the x represents horizontal location and y represents vertical location.
0606.3.11	Quadrant - Identify the quadrant of the coordinate system in which a point lies.
State Performance Indicators
SPI 0606.3.1	Number Line - Represent on a number line the solution of a linear inequality.
SPI 0606.3.2	Order of Op - Use order of operations and parentheses to simplify expressions and solve problems.
SPI 0606.3.3	Equations - Write equations that correspond to given situations or represent a given mathematical relationship.
SPI 0606.3.4	Rewrite - Rewrite expressions to represent quantities in different ways.
SPI 0606.3.5	Expressions - Translate between verbal expressions/sentences and algebraic expressions/equations.
SPI 0606.3.6	Linear - Solve two-step linear equations using number sense, properties, and inverse operations.
SPI 0606.3.7	Patterns - Use algebraic expressions and properties to analyze numeric and geometric patterns.
