Mathematics | Grade : 6

Domain - Expressions and Equations

Cluster - Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions.

[6.EE.A.2] - Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.

Resources:


  • Expression
    A mathematical phrase that combines operations, numbers, and/or variables (e.g., 32 ÷ a).

Predecessor Standards:

  • 5.OA.A.2
    Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 x (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 x (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
  • 5.OA.B.3
    Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules. Identify apparent relationships between corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 0, and given the rule “Add 6” and the starting number 0, generate terms in the resulting sequences, and observe that the terms in one sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Successor Standards:

  • AI.A-SSE.A.1
    Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.*
  • AI.A-SSE.A.1.a
    Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.
  • AI.A-SSE.A.1.b
    Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1 + r)t as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.
  • MI.A-SSE.A.1
    Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.*
  • MI.A-SSE.A.1.a
    Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.
  • MI.A-SSE.A.1.b
    Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1 + r)n as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.

Same Level Standards:

  • 6.EE.A.1
    Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
  • 6.EE.A.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.A.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.
  • 6.EE.B.6
    Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
