Classwork: Check Your Work

These web-based activities were developed, during summer sessions from 1997 through 1999, by students at Mainland High School, located in Daytona Beach, FL. As part of Mainland's CCTT grant, the students were given permission by the book's publisher to convert the ancillary materials of the County's adopted Algebra 1 textbook (Glencoe Algebra 1 — ISBN: 9780028253282) into html format.

c. 7 times the product of x and t is written as 7xt d. 5 greater than half of a number t is written as 1/2(t) + 5 or as t/2 + 5

Directions: two different verbal expressions for each algebraic expression.

a. 9t is written as nine times t or the product of 9 and t b. 8 + a is written as the sum of 8 and a or as eight increased by a

c. 5y + 10x is written as the product of 5 and y added to the product of 10 and x or 5 times y plus 10 times x d. 7 - 3y is written as seven minus the product of three and y or seven decreased by three times y
