 ** Grade: 6 Unit: 3 Week: 6 Dates: 12/17-12/21 **
 * Content: Using Algebraic Expressions **

** Theme Essential Question: ** How can you use numerical and algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalitites to solve real life mathematical problems?

** Essential Questions: **
 * Can students use variables and algebraic expressions to solve problems?

** Standards **   ** Objectives **   ** Reflections and/or Comments from your PCSSD 6th Grade Curriculum Team ** (Taken from Ohio Department of Education Teaching) The process of translating between mathematical phrases and symbolic notation will also assist students in the writing of equations/inequalities for a situation. This process should go both ways; Students should be able to write a mathematical phrase for an expression. Additionally, the writing of expressions from a situation or story does not come naturally for many students. A strategy for assisting with this is to give students an expression and ask them to come up with the situation/story that the expression could be referencing. When working with expressions, provide situations in which the information is not limited to the set of positive whole numbers but includes rational numbers. This is a good way to practice fractional numbers and negative numbers.   ** Background Information **   ** Assessment **
 * // 6.EE.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. //
 * Students will use algebraic expressions to solve problems.
 * Recommended: For a quick overview of the standard(s) to be addressed in this lesson, see Arizona’s Content Standards Reference Materials. **
