Algebraic Reasoning Unit

The Algebraic Reasoning Unit involves understanding that the unknown can be any one of the three or four terms in an equation. Questions to answer may include:

  • If I know the starting number and the change, how can I find the result? Such as: 2 + 4 = 
  • IfIf I know the starting number and the result, how can I find the change? Such as: 7 = 3 + 
  • IfIf I know the change and the result, how can I find the starting number?
    Such as:  - 3 = 5
