Mathematics:
Chapter 6 (Glencoe): How is it helpful to write numbers in different ways?
- How is using exponents helpful? Sample answer: A product of like factors can be written in a simpler, shorter format using exponents. For example 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 can be written as 98.
- How are grouping symbols helpful in simplifying expressions correctly? Sample answer: Grouping symbols like parentheses help identify the expression(s) that must first be simplified.
- How are numerical expressions and algebraic expressions different? Sample answer: Numerical expressions include only numerical values and operations. Algebraic expressions can include numerical values, operations, and variables.
- How can writing phrases as algebraic expressions help you solve problems? Sample answer: Key words and phrases, such as four times as many, can help you to determine which operation to use in an expression in order to solve a problem.
- How can using properties help you to simplify expressions? Sample answer: The properties can help you to mentally solve problems.
- How can the Distributive Property help you to rewrite expressions? Sample answer: You can rewrite a sum of two whole numbers with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.
- How can properties help to write equivalent algebraic expressions? Sample answer: To find equivalent algebraic expressions, apply the properties and combine like terms, if needed.
Chapter 7 (Glencoe): How do you determine if two numbers or expressions are equal?
- How do you solve an equation? By finding a value for the variable that makes the equation true.
- How can the Subtraction Property of Equality be used to solve addition equations? Sample answer: It allows you to subtract the same number from each side of the equation.
- How can the Addition Property of Equality be used to solve subtraction problems? Sample answer: It allows you to add the same number to each side of the equation.
- How can the Division Property of Equality be used to solve multiplication problems? Sample answer: It can be used to undo multiplication because division is the inverse of multiplication.
- When solving an equation, why is it necessary to perform the same operation on each side of the equals sign? Sample answer: To maintain equality, an operation performed on one side of an equation must also be performed on the other side.

6.EE.2 |
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. |
| (1) |
6.EE.2.a |
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. |
| (1) |
6.EE.2.b |
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. |
| (2) |
6.EE.2.c |
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 wholenumber
exponents, in the conventional order when there are no
parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
For example, use the formulas V = s3 and A = 6 s2 to find the volume
and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2. |
| (1) |
6.EE.3 |
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to
produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property
to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression
6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the
equivalent expression 3y. |
| (1) |
6.EE.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). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for. |
| (2) |
6.EE.5 |
Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether
a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true. |
| (1) |
6.EE.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. |
| (2) |
6.EE.8 |
Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams. |
| (1) |
6.NS.4 |
Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a
sum of two whole numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple
of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example,
express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2). |
| (2) |
6.NS.8 |
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first
coordinate or the same second coordinate. |
| (1) |
6.RP.3 |
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations. |

|
|
|
Chapter 8 (Glencoe): How are symbols, such as <,>, and = useful?
- How can a function table help you find input or output? When data is organized, I can use the function rule and the input to find the output or work backward using the output and the function rule to find the input.
- What is the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence? Sample answer: Both are numerical patterns, but arithmetic sequences are additive and geometric sequences are multiplicative.
- How are ordered pairs of a function used to create the graph of the function? Each set of ordered pairs can be plotted on a coordinate plane. A line is then drawn through each point.
- Why do you represent functions in different ways? Sample answer: to be able to analyze the relationship between the two quantities in different representations
- How can mental math help you find solutions to inequalities? Mental math can help determine if a certain number makes the inequality true.
- How can graphing an inequality help to solve it? Graphing shows multiple solutions to an inequality.
- How is solving an inequality similar to solving an equation? Sample answer: You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division properties to solve both.
Chapter 9 (Glencoe): How does measurement help you solve problems in everyday life?
- How are parallelograms related to triangles and rectangles? Sample answer: Parallelograms can be decomposed into triangles, or composed into rectangles. You can find the area of parallelograms using the relationship to triangles and rectangles.
- How is the formula for the area of a triangle related to the formula for the area of a parallelogram? Sample answer: A parallelogram can be decomposed into two congruent triangles. So, the formula for the area of a triangle, A = 1/2bh, is one half the area of a parallelogram, A = bh.
- How is the formula for the area of a trapezoid related to the formula for the area of a parallelogram? Sample answer: A parallelogram can be decomposed into two congruent trapezoids. So the area of each trapezoid is one half the area of the parallelogram.
- How can exponents help you find the area of a rectangle if each side length is multiplied by x? Sample answer: The original area is multiplied by x2 to find the new area.
- How can coordinates help you to find the area of figures on the coordinate plane? Sample answer: Coordinates can be used to identify a figure and find the lengths of the sides. The lengths of the sides can be used in the area formulas for various figures.
- How can you decompose figures to find areas? Sample answer: Decompose figures into areas that you know how to find. Then add to find areas of composite figures, or subtract areas of overlapping figures.
Chapter 10 (Glencoe): How is shape important when measuring a figure?
- Why can you use either the formula V = ℓwh or V = Bh to find the volume of a rectangular prism? Sample answer: The area of the base can be represented asℓ × w or as B. To find the volume of the prism, multiply the area of the base by the height of the prism.
- How is the area of a triangle related to the volume of a triangular prism? Sample answer: To find the volume of a triangular prism, you multiply the area of the triangular base B times the height h of the prism.
- What is the relationship between area and surface area? Sample answer: Surface area is calculated for a threedimensional figure. It is the sum of the areas of the surfaces that make up the three-dimensional figure.
- How is the area of a rectangle related to the surface area of a triangular prism? Sample answer: A triangular prism has three rectangular faces. You can use the area of a rectangle to find the area of the three rectangular faces of a triangular prism.
- How do you use the area of a triangle to find the surface area of a triangular pyramid? Sample answer: The base and all three lateral faces of a triangular pyramid are triangles. Use the area of a triangle to find the area of each face.

6.EE.9 |
Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the
other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the
relationship between the dependent and independent variables using
graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation. For example, in a
problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs
of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the
relationship between distance and time. |
