Working with Formulae and Substitution
Applying algebraic rules to scientific and financial contexts through the use of formulas.
Key Questions
- How do formulas allow us to predict outcomes in changing systems?
- What are the risks of substituting values without understanding the constraints of a formula?
- How can we rearrange a formula to focus on a different subject of interest?

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
