Operations create relationships between numbers.
The order of operations affects the value of an expression.
The prime factorization of a number is an equivalent expression to the original
number.
The GCF and LCM of numbers are used to solve real world problems as well as in
fraction operations.

INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS OF UNIT




A single number can be represented in many ways.
Every integer greater than 1 can be expressed as a product of prime factors in only one way, regardless of how you start to factor the number.
The greatest common factor is the product of the common prime factors and can be found using the tree diagram, listing the factors, or the upside down
cake method.
The order of operations is a set of rules for evaluating expressions to ensure that the solution is always the same.

1) Activity: Have students break into pairs, and give each pair a set of two dice. One player should roll the dice, and that player gets to choose which of these two
numbers to add to or subtract from her score--whether "A^B" or "B^A." For example, if she rolls a "2" and a "5," she gets to choose whether to use "2^5" or "5^2." The
other player is forced to add or subtract the other value to his score. On the next turn, they switch roles and continue accordingly. The goal of the game is to have the
score closest to zero by the end of the sixth round.


A number line can help students to compare positive whole numbers and that on a horizontal number line, numbers increase in value from left to right,
whereas on a vertical number line, numbers increase from the bottom to the top.
The distance between any two whole numbers on a number line can be divided into fractional parts to represent and compare decimals and fractions.
Students explore negative numbers and representing them on a number line.
Each number on the number line has an opposite, the number that is the same distance away from 0.
Number lines can help students to compare and order negative and positive numbers by visualizing the relationship among the number’s position.
Negative numbers are used to record temperatures, elevations, money owed, and many other quantities.
The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on a number line. Absolute value bars are used to show absolute value. Absolute values can be used
to interpret real world situations involving positive and negative numbers.
PARCC FRAMEWORK/ASSESSMENT
Example 1:
a.Use an integer to represent 25 feet below sea level
b.Use an integer to represent 25 feet above sea level.
c.What would 0 (zero) represent in the scenario above?
Example 2:
Using the number line, what is the opposite of 2 ½? Explain your answer.
Example 3:
Write a statement to compare – 4 ½ and –2. Explain your answer.
Example 4:
One of the thermometers shows -3°C and the other shows -7°C. Which thermometer shows which temperature? Which is the colder temperature? How much
colder? Write an inequality to show the relationship between the temperatures and explain how the model shows this relationship.

APPENDIX
(Teacher resource extensions)
6.NS.6- Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to
represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
6.NS.6a- Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of
a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
6.NS.7a- Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7
as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
6.NS.7b- Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –3 oC > –7 oC to express the fact that
–3 oC is warmer than –7 oC.
6.NS.7c- Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or
negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
6.NS.7d- Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order. For example, recognize that an account balance less than –30 dollars
represents a debt greater than 30 dollars.

In order to add and subtract fractions, you must calculate the least common denominator, which requires you to find the least common multiple of the
denominators. Simplifying fractions requires you to find the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator.
Dividing a whole number by a fraction can be easily modeled using the bar model.
Adding and subtracting decimals requires you to line up the place values to ensure the correct answer.
Students apply multiplication and division skills to real world problems involving fractions and decimals.

6.NS.6- Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to
represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
6.NS.6a- Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of
a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
6.NS.7a- Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram. For example, interpret –3 > –7
as a statement that –3 is located to the right of –7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
6.NS.7b- Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. For example, write –3 oC > –7 oC to express the fact that
–3 oC is warmer than –7 oC.
6.NS.7c- Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or
negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of –30 dollars, write |–30| = 30 to describe the size of the debt in dollars.
6.NS.7d- Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order. For example, recognize that an account balance less than –30 dollars
represents a debt greater than 30 dollars.


Students extend concepts learned with fractions to ratios.
Ratios can be represented in multiple ways and like fractions, you can create equivalent ratios and they can be simplified.
The bar model can be used to represent ratios and help students to solve real world problems.
Students extend their knowledge of ratios to the concept of a rate.
The bar model can be used to help calculate the unit rate and to solve real world problems. Bar models help students visualize more complex ratio and
rate problems.




Students use inverse operations to isolate the variable on one side of an equal sign to solve an equation.
Students extend their use of substitution to determine whether a given number is a solution to an inequality.
The graphed solution to a simple equation is a line
Students use number lines to represent solutions to inequalities
Inequalities have infinite solutions and are, therefore, represented using rays
In real-world problems, students learn that solutions to linear equations and inequalities may not be infinite.


Meagan spent $56.58 on three pairs of jeans. If each pair of jeans costs the same amount, write an algebraic equation that represents this situation and
solve to determine how much one pair of jeans cost.
Sample Solution: Students might say: “I created the bar model to show the cost of the three pairs of jeans. Each bar labeled J is the same size because each
pair of jeans costs the same amount of money. The bar model represents the equation 3J = $56.58. To solve the problem, I need to divide the total cost of
56.58 between the three pairs of jeans. I know that it will be more than $10 each because 10 x 3 is only 30 but less than $20 each because 20 x 3 is 60. If I
start with $15 each, I am up to $45. I have $11.58 left. I then give each pair of jeans $3. That’s $9 more dollars. I only have $2.58 left. I continue until all the
money is divided. I ended up giving each pair of jeans another $0.86. Each pair of jeans costs $18.86 (15+3+0.86). I double check that the jeans cost $18.86
each because $18.86 x 3 is $56.58.”

INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS OF UNIT



Students use formulas and algebraic thinking to solve surface area and volume problems
Students need to use formulas thoughtfully. For example, in the formula S=6e², the exponent only applies to e, not to 6e.
Students solve real world problems involving the surface area and volume of prisms
PARCC FRAMEWORK/ASSESSMENT
Examples:

The model shows a cubic foot filled with cubic inches. The cubic inches can also be labeled as a fractional cubic unit with dimensions of

The models show a rectangular prism with dimensions 3/2 inches, 5/2 inches, and 5/2 inches. Each of the cubic units in the model is
