This number system lesson teaches students how to represent quantities using positive and negative numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students expand their knowledge of positive and negative numbers. Students will plot given real-world values on a number line and explain their meaning.  This lesson should be taught after lesson 6.NS.6.1 Describe positive and negative numbers.

This ratios and proportional relationships lesson teaches students how to calculate unit rates. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will find various unit rates of real-world word problems.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on solving problems involving rates. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the given rate and the given and unknown quantities of the other rate. Then, they set up the proportion and solve it by cross-multiplying. Finally, they interpret the solution. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This ratios and proportional relationships lesson teaches students how to solve problems involving a percent of a quantity. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will solve problems using a percent of a quantity. This lesson uses real-world word problems. The lesson also includes an optional strategy development page for teachers who would like to formally introduce the strategy before proceeding to Skill Development.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using the distributive property in expressions with variables. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the factor and then multiply the factor outside the parentheses to each value inside the parentheses. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and six flash cards.

This number sense lesson focuses on calculating a percent of a quantity. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify the percent and quantity. Then, they calculate the percent of a quantity by changing the statement into a multiplication problem and multiplying the quantity by a percent. Finally, they interpret the percent of the quantity. In addition to the lesson, there are ten pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on solving problems involving rates. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and identify the known rate and any information about the unknown rate. Then, they set up a proportion using the known rate and the unknown rate. Finally, they solve for the unknown quantity by cross-multiplying and solving the equation, and then interpret the solution in a complete sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This ratios and proportional relationships lesson covers how to compute unit rates (complex fraction ratios). The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students create an equivalent ratio table using given units and quantities. They identify the unit quantity, determine the multiplicative inverse which produces one, and then apply the multiplicative inverse to the other quantity. Finally, they interpret the unit rate.
