Unit 2: Making Relevant Connections through Number System Fluency
Unit Description:
Building on student knowledge and understanding of whole numbers and fractions from elementary school, students will begin working with number relationships to deepen their connection to fractions. Students will continue computation with four operations with both fractions and decimals using a variety of strategies.
Building on student knowledge and understanding of whole numbers and fractions from elementary school, students will begin working with number relationships to deepen their connection to fractions. Students will continue computation with four operations with both fractions and decimals using a variety of strategies.
IN THIS UNIT, STUDENTS WILL:
• Solve word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions by fractions using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. • Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using models and student selected strategies for each operation. • Apply multiplication and division of any combination of whole numbers, fractions, and mixed numbers within relevant situations Learning Objectives 6.NR.1.3 Perform operations with multi-digit decimal numbers fluently using models and student-selected strategies. 6.NR.1.1 Fluently add and subtract any combination of fractions to solve problems. 6.NR.1.2 Multiply and divide any combination of whole numbers, fractions, and mixed numbers using a student-selected strategy. Interpret products and quotients of fractions and solve word problems. 6.NR.2.1 Describe and interpret the center of the distribution by the equal share value (mean). 6.NR.2.3 Interpret numerical data to answer a statistical investigative question created. Describe the distribution of a quantitative (numerical) variable collected, including its center, variability, and overall shape. 6.NR.2.4 Design simple experiments and collect data. Use data gathered from realistic scenarios and simulations to determine quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and range). Use these quantities to draw conclusions about the data, compare different numerical data sets, and make predictions. I Can Statements:
