Key ideas in Level Up for Middle School

  • Letters act as placeholders for numbers we don't know yet
  • Ratios describe the fixed relationship between two quantities
  • The letter represents a specific value that makes the math sentence true
  • To scale a ratio, you must multiply or divide both parts by the same number
  • You can replace the letter with a number to test if it fits the 'box'
  • Changing only one side of a ratio ruins the 'flavor' or proportion
  • Understanding that variables represent unknown values in a mathematical sentence
  • Applying ratios to maintain proportions when scaling
  • The equals sign means both sides have the exact same value
  • Patterns follow a consistent rule like 'add 3' or 'multiply by 2'
  • Any change made to one side must be mirrored on the other to keep the 'seesaw' level
  • The relationship between the first two numbers must hold for the rest
  • Equations break if you only change one side
  • Finding the rule allows you to calculate any future number in the list
  • Maintaining balance in an equation by performing identical operations
  • Identifying and extending a numerical pattern
