The 6th grade is just beginning our 5th unit of study, Equations and Inequalities. In this unit we will cover the following objectives: • Identifying and understanding the parts of an equation and the difference(s) between expressions, equations and inequalities. • Determine which values from a given set make the equation or inequality true. • Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations. • Write statements of inequalities to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. • Represent solutions of inequalities on number lines. • Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world situation, where one variables changes based on the other. • Write an equation to express two variable relationships. • Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate to equations.
