Rational Number Operations Review Unit Algebra 1 Curriculum

Start the year in Algebra 1 by reviewing rational number operations. This newly updated review unit strengthens the prerequisite skills students need all year. It assumes students may have forgotten integer, decimal, and fraction operations, so it gives review, targeted practice, and activities that help you identify and fill learning gaps before moving into Algebra concepts.

Lessons are written for 30 to 45 minute class periods, and the unit runs from pre-assessment through unit test.
