NYS Common Core-Math-Grade 6 -Quarter 1

(1) 6.EE.1 Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
(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).

How does representing quantities in different ways reveal different information about the quantities?
