6th Grade Math Unit 11

Big Idea:

Applying proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and operations with rational numbers. (fractions, decimals and percents)

Student Expectations:

Ongoing TEKS

6.3(D) [Readiness] add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers fluently

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

6.5(A) [Supporting] represent mathematical and real-world problems involving ratios and rates using scale factors, tables, graphs, and proportions

6.5(B) [Readiness] solve real-world problems to find the whole given a part and the percent, to find the part given the whole and the percent, and to find the percent given the part and the whole, including the use of concrete and pictorial models

6.7(D) [Readiness] generate equivalent expressions using the properties of operations: inverse, identity, commutative, associative, and distributive properties

6.10(A) [Readiness] model and solve one-variable, one-step equations and inequalities that represent problems, including geometric concepts

6.10(B) [Supporting] determine if the given value(s) make(s) one-variable, one-step equations or inequalities true

Student Learning Targets:

• I will use problem solving strategies in solving more in depth proportions, algebraic reasoning and operations with rational numbers problems.
• I will write about how rational number operations are important in the real world

Essential Questions:

• What are good problem solving strategies?
• What real world applications use proportional relationships?
• What is a real world application of algebraic reasoning?
• How are rational number operations important in the real world?
