Use a variable to represent numbers and write expressions when solving real-world problems.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use manipulatives to represent a situation (i.e., John has five apples and he gives some to Jim = 5 – x).
Representation:
  • When given an algebraic expression (8 + y), the student must select the appropriate verbal expression (i.e., eight plus y).

Number: MAFS.6.EE.2.AP.6a Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities. (Major Cluster)

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
