For this task, students use the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to decide which expressions are equivalent.
In this task, students determine the correct expression and how students may have been thinking when determining the perimeter of the rectangle.
This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 6th grade Math content.
This resource accompanies our Rethink 6th Grade Math course. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning.
For this activity, students use tiles to model a problem and represent the solution with tiles.
For this interactive, students look for clues and solve the challenges.
This document provides sample performance tasks/assessment items for Common Core State Standards Grade 6 Math provided by the Louisiana Department of Eduation. Both questions and exemplary responses are included.
This 2-3 week unit on algebraic expressions allows for students to develop a deep understanding of what an expression is and how it can be used to represent a situation. Students start off by working with number expressions and analyzing the components and evaluating them. They then study the meaning behind a variable and how it us used in an algebraic expression. Finally, they work to understand that two expressions that may look different can be equivalent. The goal is to give students a strong foundation in algebraic expressions before moving on to equations and inequalities.
In this lesson, students solve single-variable equations by creating equivalent expressions.
In this problem students must transform expressions using the distributive, commutative and associative properties to decide which expressions are equivalent.
In Module 4, Expressions and Equations, students extend their arithmetic work to include using letters to represent numbers in order to understand that letters are simply "stand-ins" for numbers and that arithmetic is carried out exactly as it is with numbers.
This unit contains a curriculum-embedded Common Core aligned task and instructional supports. The ?Grocery Shopping? task will assess students? knowledge of representing equivalent expressions and being able to justify this through the use of the distributive property. The second task is ?The Quilt of a Math Teacher?. This task will assess students? knowledge of formulating an algebraic expression based on a real-??life situation, while addressing Mathematical Practice standards as well.
Students will recognize patterns and represent situations using algebraic notation and variables.
Recognize that area represents the product of two numbers and is additive.
Represent a multiplication problem as the area of a rectangle, proportionally or using generic area.
Develop and justify a strategy to determine the product of two multi-digit numbers by representing the product as an area or the sum of areas.
Students to enter and compare numeric or algebraic expressions in this interactive pan balance, from Illuminations, . They can "weigh" the expressions they want to compare by entering them on either side of the balance, allowing them to practice arithmetic and algebraic skills, as well as to investigate the concept of equivalence.
Develop and justify a method to use the area model to determine the product of a monomial and a binomial or the product of two binomials.
Factor an expression, including expressions containing a variable.
Recognize that area represents the product of two numbers and is additive.
Represent a multiplication problem as the area of a rectangle, proportionally or using generic area.
Develop and justify a strategy to determine the product of two multi-digit numbers by representing the product as an area or the sum of areas.
This task is a natural follow up for task Rectangle Perimeter 1. After thinking about and using one specific expression for the perimeter of a rectangle, students now extend their thinking to equivalent expressions for the same quantity.
In this interactive order of operations activity, students will solve the expressions, then rearrange the online domino tiles in order to match the correct answers.
