Grade 6 Math Unit 6 Algebraic Reasoning

Unit 6 Algebraic Reasoning

Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

In this unit, students explore the language of algebra as they learn the meaning of a variable and apply this understanding to the translation of patterns, models, and story contexts to algebraic expressions and equations. Students use tables, words and symbols to describe and express relationships found in number patterns as well as use concrete materials, pictures and tables to identify, describe, and extend numerical patterns.
