Write an equation using variables to represent two quantities where one variable represents the dependent variable and the second represents the independent variable.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Create a concrete representation of a ratio (3:6 or 3 red cubes for every 6 white cubes).
Representation:
  • Use an input/output table to answer questions about the relationship between dependent variables (i.e., each student gets two snack bags).
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: variable, dependent, independent.

    Input/output table with Snack bags data as 2, 4, 6, ? with student data as 1, 2, ?, and 4 respectively.

Date Adopted or Revised: 05/14 Cluster: Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables. (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.

Name Description
MAFS.6.EE.3.9: Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation. For example, in a problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship between distance and time.
