Day 20: Math 6 - Topic Two Review / Math 6+: Generate Equivalent Expressions

Students in Math 6 used their workbook to prepare for tomorrow's Topic Two Midpoint. Mr. Giomini also modeled some of the most missed questions from the previous week's Calculation Quizzes.

Math 6+ students worked with greatest common factors (GCF) to help generate equivalent algebraic expressions.

Standards addressed in today's lesson:

• Math 6:
• Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
• Understand ordering and the absolute value of rational numbers.
• Math 6+:
• Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation "Subtract y from 5" as 5 - y.
• Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity. For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms.
