Essay
Describe the Order of Operations for solving a multistep equation involving whole numbers.
Provide reasoning for why each step must be done in that order. (12 points= 1 point for correctly
identifying each step + 1 point for using each step in the correct order.)

Description of Matching
For the matching exercise students will be required to match an equation with whether it is a
whole number, fraction, distributive, multiplicative, or absolute value equation. There will be 7
questions so some answers will be used twice, as well as one answer will not be used.

Description of Interpretive Exercise

For the interpretive exercise students will be given four pictures of worked out solutions to the
same problem. Only one of the examples with have the problem done correctly. Students will be
required to read through the sample answers and then answer a variety of questions about each
sample. Some example equations are: What should Student A have done in step 2 instead of
multiplying? Which student had the correct answer to the equation? and How do you know that
the student you picked had the correct answer?
