1. What is a rational number?

2. What other kinds of numbers are there?

3. Are there rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing rational numbers?

Perform Operations with Rational Numbers

1. Why do we need an Order of Operations?

2. What is the Order of Operations?

3. Which operation gets performed first, multiplication or division?

Use the Order of Operations to Evaluate Expressions

A. -2[18 ÷ 6 • 23 – (10 – 13)2]

B.

C.

Evaluate Each Expression

Evaluate a + 2b for a = 1 and b = -2 5

Solve Each Linear Equation
