Algebra Basics…
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 1:
The Number Line & Signed Numbers
Positive Numbers
Negative Numbers
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 1:
The Number Line & Signed Numbers
Adding & Subtracting Signed Numbers
*if numbers have like signs, add
the numbers and keep the same
sign
*if the numbers have unlike signs,
find the difference between the 2
numbers and use the sign of the
larger number
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 1:
The Number Line & Signed Numbers
Multiplying & Division Signed Numbers
*if the signs are the same,
the answer is positive
*if the signs are different,
the answers is negative
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 2:
Powers & Roots
Powers  to show repeated multiplication
Exponents  a small number written above and to the right
Base  tells how many times the base is repeated
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 3:
Scientific Notation
Uses the powers of 10 to express
very small and very large numbers
Positive # =
to the right
Negative # =
to the left
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 4:
Order of Operations
PEMDAS
Science Practices
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 1:
Comprehend Scientific Presentations
Main Idea  topic
Details, facts, and evidence
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 2:
Use the scientific method
Set of techniques
that scientists use
to investigate
observable facts
& occurrence &
to acquire new
knowledge

Lesson 2:
Use the scientific method
Dependent variable  the phenomenon you’re studying
Independent variable  a factor that you believe might be affecting
the phenomenon
Taking samples: for step #2
sample  portion of the entire thing or population
To make an inference on entire population, have guidelines
concern: sample may not be representative of entire
population
-an unrepresentative sample introduces bias
-to prevent this, collect large enough sample size to reduce the
probability
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 2:
Use the scientific method
Randomization  increase the chance of valid results
Control group  does not receive any treatment
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 3:
Comprehend Scientific Presentations
The test require you to recognizing or citing specific evidence to support
a conclusion.
Conclusion or scientific theory  a substantiated explanation of the
natural world
Other questions will ask to make predictions  based on evidence or
data that the test provides to you based on trends  forecast
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 4:
Express & apply scientific information
*You will be asked to find relationships among science passages,
graphics, formulas or equations
Reference page 508
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 5:
Use statistics & probability
Math in the science section:
-Central tendency  average, median, mode, range
-Independent and dependent probabilities
-counting techniques for combinations and permutations
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 6:
Construct short-answer responses
• You will need to write 2 written responses
2 writing tasks:
1. cite specific evidence
-complete & well developed explanation
-specific facts, details, or evidence from source material
2. design a scientific experiment
-clearly stated hypothesis
-well-formulated design of how the experiment would
be conducted
-logical method to collect data
-sound criteria for evaluating the results in relation to the
hypothesis
Gonzales, Spring 2017
Lesson 6:
Construct short-answer responses
***Budget 10 minutes per short answer
5-Step process:
1. Read question
2. Develop a thesis statement
3. Emphasize facts, details, and evidence
4. Plan your response
5. Write 1 or 2 paragraph response
