Use the Rachel's Problems Assessment Masters with Feedback Box the Teacher Guide to assess students' abilities to use variables in formulas to represent number patterns and making predictions [E4]; find the prime factorization of a number [E6]; and use the order of operations to make calculations that involve exponents and the use of parentheses [E7].

The Operation Target game can be used as targeted practice.
