Mathematics | Grade : 6

Domain - Expressions and Equations

Cluster - Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.

[6.EE.B.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.


Resources:


  • Expression
    A mathematical phrase that combines operations, numbers, and/or variables (e.g., 32 ÷ a).
  • Variable
    A quantity that can change or that may take on different values. Refers to the letter or symbol representing such a quantity in an expression, equation, inequality, or matrix.

Successor Standards:

  • 7.EE.B.4.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. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
  • 7.EE.B.4.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. For example: As a sales-person, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions..

Same Level Standards:

  • 6.EE.A.2
    Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
  • 6.EE.B.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.
