Integers
- Absolute value Absolute value is a number's distance from zero, so it is never negative: |-8| and |8| both equal 8.
- Comparing & ordering integers Picture the number line. The number farther to the right is always greater, so every positive beats every negative, and −2 beats −9.
- Integers add & subtract Adding moves you right on the number line, subtracting moves you left, and subtracting a negative flips you right again.
Expressions & equations
- Combining like terms Like terms have the same letter, so add their number parts: 3x + 2x makes 5x.
- Evaluating expressions Swap the letter for its number, then follow the order of operations.
- Exponents The small raised number tells how many times to use the base as a factor: 2^3 means 2 × 2 × 2.
- Inequalities on a number line The open circle marks the boundary number, and the arrow points toward all the numbers that make the inequality true.
- One-step equations To find x, undo what was done to it: do the opposite operation to both sides.
- Order of operations Work inside parentheses first, then any exponents, then multiply and divide, then add and subtract.
- Writing algebraic expressions Complete each problem. Show your reasoning where asked.
- Writing inequalities Write one inequality that models each condition.
