c.  Be able to identify the absolute value of a rational number.

6.NS.9  Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.   Find the distance between two points that have the same “x” or “y” coordinate.  

6. EE  Expressions and Equations

Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions.

6.EE.1  Write and evaluate numbers with positive powers.

6.EE.2  Write, read, and evaluate expressions containing variables.  

Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.

6.EE.3  Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.  

6.EE.4  Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem.  

ex.  Equations are in the form of x + p = q or px = q.  

Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables.

6.EE.5  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 independent variable.  Analyze the relationships between the dependent and independent variable.

6.G Geometry

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume.

6.G.1  Find the the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and other polygons by dividing the figures into simpler shapes.
