6th Grade Advanced Math Unit 2

Big Idea:

Multiply and divide decimals and fractions.

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

6.3(E) [Readiness] multiply and divide positive rational numbers fluently

7.3 (B) apply and extend previous understandings of operations to solve problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of rational numbers

Focus TEKS

6.2(E) [Supporting] extend representations for division to include fraction notation such as a/b represents the same number as a ÷ b where b ≠ 0

6.3(A) [Supporting] recognize that dividing by a rational number and multiplying by its reciprocal result in equivalent values

6.3(B) [Supporting] determine, with and without computation, whether a quantity is increased or decreased when multiplied by a fraction, including values greater than or less than one

7.3(A) add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers fluently
