Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS6.EE.A.2
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
CCSS6.EE.A.3
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + ๐น) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3๐น; apply the distributive property to the expression 24๐น + 18๐บ to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4๐น + 3๐บ); apply properties of operations to ๐บ + ๐บ + ๐บ to produce the equivalent expression 3๐บ.
CCSS6.EE.A.4
Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions ๐บ + ๐บ + ๐บ and 3๐บ are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number ๐บ stands for.
