Review Factors
I can: identify the factors of a whole number.
Factors help you arrange items into equal groups and recognize numbers that expressions have in common.

Recognize Useful Patterns
Build the foundation first. Then use factors, exponents, like terms, and repeated groups to understand how algebraic expressions are organized.
I canrecognize useful patterns and use the structure of an expression to rewrite it.

Understand Exponents
I can: write repeated multiplication using an exponent and explain what the exponent means.
Exponents give us a short way to write repeated multiplication. They appear in area, computer storage, science, finance, and game growth.

Recognize Perfect Squares
I can: recognize perfect-square numbers and write them using exponents.
Perfect squares appear in area, tile designs, image grids, building plans, and later when solving quadratic equations.

Identify Like Terms
I can: decide whether terms are like terms by comparing their variables and exponents.
Like terms represent the same kind of quantity. Recognizing them prevents us from combining amounts that do not belong together.

Combine Like Terms
I can: combine like terms by combining their coefficients and keeping the variable parts unchanged.
Combining like terms makes long expressions shorter and helps total repeated costs, earnings, items, or points.

Recognize Repeated Groups
I can: recognize when a number, variable, or entire group repeats in an expression.
Recognizing repeated groups helps describe bundles, meal deals, subscriptions, and equal packages without writing the same information again and again.

Use Patterns to Rewrite Expressions
I can: use patterns I recognize to rewrite an expression in an equivalent form.
Equivalent expressions let us choose the form that makes a calculation, comparison, or real-world situation easier to understand.
