I. Course Description
The goal of this course is to provide students with a strong foundation of math skills traditionally considered
essential for success in higher level, more abstract math courses. Early topics include: rational numbers, their
operations, and their algebraic representations. As the year progresses, equations and functions, geometry, square
root, and probability become the focus. Strands of measurement, conversions, area, measures of central tendency,
and data displays are investigated throughout the course. Additionally, students will consistently engage in
problem solving situations that will require application of skills and use of estimation to check for reasonableness.
Student Objectives:
Students will understand that:
Patterns can be used to solve problems
Mathematics is a language with essential vocabulary
A negative sign can be used to represent numbers less than zero
All numbers have an absolute value representing the distance (on a number line) from zero
Fractions, decimals, and percents have equivalent/interchangeable values
Ratios and rates show the numerical relationship between two elements
Problem solving often requires the translation of English phrases into mathematical expressions
Solving inequalities is similar to solving equations except that a range of numbers (shown on a number
line) represents all possible solutions
Data can be organized through measures of central tendency
Appropriate data displays are chosen based on the characteristics of the data
Steps for solving equations are ruled by specific properties and order of operations
Transformations can be described with coordinate notation

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).
6.EE.3

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).
6.EE.5
Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which
values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to
determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.
6.EE.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.

Common Core Standards
6.NS.5. Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or
values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use
positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
6.NS.6. Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar
from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
a. Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the
opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
b. Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that
when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.
c. Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs
of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.
6.NS.7. Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.
b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational
numbers in real-world contexts.
c. Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as
magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation
d. Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order.
6.NS.8. Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of
coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
6.G.3Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining
points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and

Common Core Standards
6.EE.
1. Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
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.
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.
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).
.
3. Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
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).
Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.
5. Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any,
make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or
inequality true.
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.
7. Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which
p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
8. Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem.
Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on
number line diagrams.
Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between
dependent and independent variables.
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.
