North Carolina Informational Technology Essential Standards: 6. TT.1 Use technology and other resources for the purpose of assessing, organizing, and sharing information. Common Core State Standards Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. 6. EE.1 Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving wholenumber exponents. 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, Learning Targets: I can write numerical expressions involving whole number exponents. Ex. 34 = 3x3x3x3 I can evaluate numerical expressions involving whole number exponents. Ex. 34 = 3x3x3x3 = 81 I can solve order of operation problems that contain exponents. Ex. 3+22 – (2+3) = 2 I can use numbers and variables to evaluate expressions. I can translate written phrases into algebraic expressions. I can translate algebraic expressions into written phrases. I can identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient). I can identify parts of an expression as a single entity, even if 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 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 = s^3 and A = 6 s^2 to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of lengths s = ½. not a monomial. I can substitute specific values for variables. I can evaluate algebraic expressions including those that arise from real-world problems. I can apply order of operations when there are no parentheses for expressions that include whole number exponents. 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 to them). For example, the expression y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for. I can recognize when two expressions are equivalent. I can prove (using various strategies) that two expressions are equivalent no matter what number is substituted. Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities. 6. EE.5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, in any, make the equation of inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true. I can recognize solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering “which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true?”. I can use the solution to an equation or inequality to prove that the answer is correct. I can use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true. I can create equivalent expressions using the properties of operations (e.g. distributive property, associative property, adding like terms with the addition property or equality, etc.). I can apply the properties of operations to create equivalent expressions. 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. 6. EE.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. 6. EE.8 Write an inequality of the form x>c or x<c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world of 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. 6.EE.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 I can recognize that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the scenario/situation, any number in a specific set. I can relate variables to a context. I can write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem I can define an inverse operation. I can use inverse operations to solve one step variable equations. I can apply rules of the form x + p = q and px = q, for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers, to solve real world and mathematical problems. (There is only one unknown quantity). I can develop a rule for solving one-step equations using inverse operations with nonnegative rational coefficients. I can solve and write equations for real-world mathematical problems containing one unknown. I can identify the constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem in order to set up an inequality. I can recognize that inequalities of the form x>c or x<c have infinitely many solutions. I can write an inequality of the form x>c or x<c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. I can represent solutions to inequalities or the form x>c or x<c, with infinitely many solutions, on the number line diagrams. I can define independent and dependent variables I can use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another. I can write an equation to express one quantity (dependent) in terms of the other quantity (independent). I can analyze the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variable using tables and graphs. graphs and tables, and relation 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. I can relate the data in a graph and table to the corresponding equation. Expressions and Equations: Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions and equations. 7.EE.3 Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations as strategies to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies Use variables to represent quantities in a real- world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. b. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. I can apply strategic tools to solve multi-step problems involving both positive and negative rational numbers. I can evaluate expressions utilizing mental math and estimation strategies. I can solve real world problems utilizing properties of operations converting between fractions, decimals and percent. 7.EE4 Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width? Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. I can create equations and inequalities to solve real world problems. I can solve and graph inequalities with rational numbers to find the minimum and maximum of a real world situation. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions. Essential Question(s): When can you substitute a variable for a number in a mathematical equation? How can exponents shorten equations? What is the difference between doubling a number and squaring a number? How can I read information and represent it as a mathematical equation? How do the algebraic properties help me write equivalent equations? How does an expression differ from an equation? What strategies can be used to solve for unknowns in an expression/equation? Why would you use an inequality instead of an equation? Enduring Understanding(s): The purpose of this unit is to apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions, reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities, represent and analyze quantities relationships between dependent and independent variables.
