UEQ: Why is it important to understand algebraic relationships? How do we use algebra in our everyday lives? Reading Graphs (10-7) Standard 2.5.5.B: Use appropriate mathematical terms, vocabulary, language, symbols, and graphs to explain clearly and logically solutions to problems Standard 2.8.5.B: Select and use strategies, including concrete objects, to solve number sentences (equations and inequalities) and explain the method of solution. Standard 2.8.5.C: Recognize, describe, extend, create, replicate, and form a rule for a variety of patterns, sequences, and relationships verbally, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. Standard 2.8.5.D: Determine a functional rule from a table or graph. Standard 2.8.5.E: Use concrete objects and combinations of symbols and numbers to create expressions, equations, and inequalities that model mathematical situations. Standard 2.8.5.F: Describe data represented in equations, inequalities, tables, or graphs and/or create a story that matches that data.
