ax+b =v and division of integers, concretly, pictorially
x/a=b=c, a=0 and symbolically.
a(x+b) = C

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence

Pre-Assessment
Students will begin first with a WRAT exam to determine what they know and don’t know. It generates
the GPA of the student’s knowledge based on math.
Students will be given questions and providing answers with class discussions. Assess what students
know about fractions by the answers they give.
