Use a Variable to Write an Algebraic Expression

TEKS Math: 6.6

(6) Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to use multiple representations to describe algebraic relationships.

AU Math: ACMNA175

(Y7) Introduce the concept of variables as a way of representing numbers using letters (ACMNA175)

ACMNA176

(Y7) Create algebraic expressions and evaluate them by substituting a given value for each variable (ACMNA176)

CCSS Math: 6.EE.2

6.EE.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using a variable to write an algebraic expression. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the unknown amount, the given number or known amount, and the operation (using clue words or actions such as sum, difference, product, or quotient). Then, they write the algebraic expression. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
