Lesson 2 Mathematical Properties Review

PEDAGOGICAL METHODS

• Student Collaboration: Think-Pair-Share, Fishbowl strategies
• Groups consist of 3 to 4 students.
• Teacher checks for understanding from each group and asks clarifying questions.

COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS

• 6.EE.A.2c: 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).
• 6.EE.A.3: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
• 6.EE.A.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).

STANDARDS OF MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES

• MP 1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
• MP 2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
• MP 3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
• MP 4: Model with mathematics.
• MP 5: Use appropriate tools strategically.
• MP 7: Look for and make use of structure.
• MP 8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

SWBAT

• Students will deconstruct word problems to write algebraic and numerical expressions.
• Students will be able to use new knowledge about properties to simplify algebraic and numerical expressions.
• Students will work together in groups to complete assignment.
