Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Making Meaning UNDERSTANDINGS Students will understand that Algebraic expressions can be used to represent real life situations. Expressions are equivalent when they name the same number regardless of which number the variable stands for. The area of polygons can be found by decomposing the polygon into triangles and rectangles. A three-dimensional figure can be represented using a net to visualize its faces and dimensions. Using the formulas for surface area and volume can help solve realworld problems. The volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional side lengths can be determined by packing or filling the solid with unit cubes. This yields the same results as using the formula for finding volume.

Variables represent a quantity that can change. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS Students will keep considering How can expressions be used to represent and solve mathematical and real life situations?

Assessed Grade Level Standards Standards for Mathematical Practice SMP 1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. SMP 2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. SMP 3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. SMP 4 Model with mathematics. SMP 5 Use appropriate tools strategically. SMP 6 Attend to precision. SMP 7 Look for and make use of structure. SMP 8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Standards for Mathematical Content [m] 6.EE.A Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to expressions. 6.EE.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. a. Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation Subtract y from 5 as 5 y. b. Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity. For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms. c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s³ and A = 6 s² to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2. 6.EE.3 Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y. 6.EE.4 Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for.
