    Self Check

    ⓐ After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

    A table is shown that is composed of four columns and seven rows. The titles of the columns are “I can …”, “Confidently”, “With some help” and “No – I don’t get it!”. The first column reads “multiple integers.”, “divide integers.”, “simplify expressions with integers.”, “evaluate variable expressions with integers.”, “translate English phrases to algebraic expressions.” and “use integers in applications.”

    ⓑ On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate your mastery of this section in light of your responses on the checklist? How can you improve this?
