What’s Inside the Student Work Text?
Overview
The TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text addresses the Common Core State
Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics (National Governors Association Center for Best
Practices/Council of Chief State School Officers [NGA/CCSSO], 2010b) in separate books.
However, students benefit from an integrated view of mathematics (cross-domain
experiences). For instance, instead of isolating concepts, this approach groups ideas
and draws parallels. Students move beyond memorization and routine procedures to
construct mathematics using their own strategies and representations. As they grow in
understanding, they begin to generalize and transfer patterns of responding to other
mathematical and non-mathematical problems and situations.
The exercises included in the work text focus on the critical areas (major work) of the
grade as defined in the CCSS (NGA/CCSSO, 2013). The work text provides practice in
a variety of mathematical and real-world contexts. Tasks require appropriate use of
manipulatives, tools, and technology.

The TestSMART Common Core Student Work Text should supplement and support
research, planning, instruction, and both informal and formal assessment. It is
recommended that teachers introduce new math concepts through everyday problems
and situations.
How to Use the Student Work Text
Time Requirement
The time requirement depends on the activity type and topic. Activity types include
guided (whole-class and small-group), independent, and extension/homework. Most
activities will take about 15–45 minutes.
Getting Started
Teachers should implement the activities from the TestSMART Common Core Student
Work Text in sequential order. The activities logically progress within each domain,
building upon prior knowledge and personal experience. The activities also
appropriately relate thinking across domains and grades. The activities should move
students toward self-directed mathematics learning and problem solving.
Within each activity are opportunities for students to question, think about, and talk
about their learning. In addition to the specific mathematic expectations involved,
these moments during activities help students develop the following types of skills—
•
•
•
•
•
analytical thinking
evaluative thinking
reflective thinking
metacognitive thinking
communication

Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II
For instance, students may need to connect information with prior knowledge or
personal experience, make predictions, infer, determine importance, visualize,
synthesize, or monitor comprehension. The Teacher Guide provides specific guidance
for supporting students throughout the learning process.
Lesson Features
What You Need to Know: Occasionally, students are given key background information
to activate or support their subject-area knowledge. Some students will not have prior
knowledge about the concept or skill. Others may have developed misconceptions.
Think About It: Students are asked to think about math-related questions and
situations and to think about their thinking. Students can think independently, or
teachers can guide “think-aloud” sessions in small or large groups (see Box 4
“Scaffolding through ‘Think Aloud,’” page 16).

This page may not be reproduced.
Talk About It: Students are asked to talk about math concepts and situations and
to talk about their thinking. This includes examining problem situations, making
observations, explaining their problem-solving processes, and discussing math
terminology and concepts (see “Math-Talk,” pages 13–14).
Try It: Students are asked to try a guided example. Teachers can present the guided
example in a whole-class or small-group setting. Teachers should engage students in
“math-talk” during these examples (see “Math-Talk,” pages 13–14).
Working Together: Students are asked to work together, or collaborate, in guided
settings (pairs, small-group, whole-class). Teachers can support students with openended questions (see Box 5 “Scaffolding through Open-Ended Questions,” pages 16–18).
On Your Own: Students are asked to independently explore a concept or skill, as well as
their own ways of problem solving. Teachers can support students with open-ended
questions (see Box 5 “Scaffolding through Open-Ended Questions,” pages 16–18).

Fostering Mathematical Understanding and Inquiry
Common Core State Standards*
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) (NGA/CCSSO, 2012) is a standards-based
U.S. education reform initiative sponsored by the National Governors Association
(NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The initiative seeks to
provide a set of national curriculum standards to create more rigorous, consistent
instruction and learning across the country. These standards were developed based
on models from various states and countries, as well as recommendations from K–12
educators and students. The expectations, aimed at college and career readiness,
focus on core concepts and processes at deep and complex levels. The curriculum
standards for ELA/literacy and mathematics were released in 2010. Science and
history standards are in development.

Forty-three states and the District of Columbia have adopted the standards, but
Alaska, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, and Virginia have yet to adopt them. During the
2014–2015 academic year, adopting states should begin formal CCSS assessments.
Assessments will include the following types of items:
selected-response items (multiple-choice items)
constructed-response items
technology-enhanced items/tasks
performance tasks

Box 2: Definition of the Common Core State Standards
Mathematics Instruction and Learning
Mathematics is a study of patterns, relationships, measurement, and properties in
numbers, quantity, magnitude, shape, space, and symbols. Effective mathematics
instruction requires students to mindfully attend to elements of structure and
content—including patterns and language choice. This disciplined study involves trying
and retrying during problem solving to better understand how structure and content
work together in systems of meaning (Paul & Elder, 2008). The ability to recognize,
analyze, and use patterns and relationships is essential to problem solving.
Mathematical thinking skills are closely tied to skills that are essential for success in
school, career/work, and life, such as—

“
Research...supports
a focus on teaching
for meaning and
understanding.”
These skills are essential to achieving learning goals in the areas of information and
communication technology (ICT) literacy and science. As students develop in
mathematics, they should also see connections in reading, language arts, social studies,
history, art, music, physical education and sports, and other areas of the curriculum.
Research (e.g., Fennema & Romberg, 1999; Hiebert et al., 1997; Simon, 2006; Skemp,
1976) supports a focus on teaching for meaning and understanding. Fluency with
computational procedures and basic facts allows students to expend less cognitive
energy when problem solving. However, drilling on isolated skills can become
meaningless (e.g., Grouws, 2004; Schoenfeld, 1988). In addition, these rote activities
sometimes involve the use of mnemonic devices. These types of “tricks” are not
suggested strategies for achieving long-term understanding and flexible use of skills.
Students understand more when they actively construct meaning during rich, complex
tasks (e.g., Fosnot, 1996; Fosnot, 2005; Noddings, 1990).

Appropriate Tasks
The CCSS emphasize the need for understanding and its impact on carrying out
effective mathematical practices and true mastery of mathematical content
(NGA/CCSSO, 2010b). (Refer to Box 1 “Balance in Rigorous Mathematics Instruction” on
page 6 for a list of the Standards for Mathematical Practice.) Rich mathematics tasks
often involve persistent problem solving and, therefore, can require time. Rich tasks
allow all students—even struggling learners—the opportunity to adequately explore
and discuss complex problems, situations, and ideas. Rich mathematics experiences
provide students with opportunities to see structure, patterns, and relationships in
many different contexts.

Expressions and Equations
6.EE—Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions
1. Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
2. Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
a. Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing
for numbers.
b. Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product,
factor, quotient, coefficient). View one or more parts of an expression as a single
entity.
This page may not be reproduced.
c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that
arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations,
including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order
when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).
This page may not be reproduced.
3. Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.
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).
6.EE—Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities
5. Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question:
Which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use
substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an
equation or inequality true.
6. Use variables to represent numbers, and write expressions when solving a real-world
or mathematical problem. Understand that a variable can represent an unknown
number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
7. Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the
form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q, and x are all non-negative rational
numbers.
8. Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in
a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c
or x < c have infinitely many solutions. Represent solutions of such inequalities on
number line diagrams.
6.EE—Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and
independent variables
9. Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in
relationship to one another. Write an equation to express one quantity, thought
of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the
independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and
independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation.
Note: The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) identify writing, interpreting, and using
expressions and equations as one of four critical areas of instruction for Grade 6.

Exponents & Order of Operations
When trying to solve an expression, it is important to remember order of operations.
Talk About It: Define order of operations, and explain why it is important.
You learned about order of operations in fifth grade, but you did not work with exponents.
The list below shows where exponents occur in order of operations.
Order of Operations
1—any operation inside parentheses
2—any operation inside brackets
This page may not be reproduced.
This page may not be reproduced.
3—any operation inside braces
4—any exponents from left to right
5—multiplication and division worked left to right
6—addition and subtraction worked left to right
What You Need to Know: In fifth grade, you learned that parentheses, brackets, and
braces are punctuation symbols used to group things. Parentheses look like this: ( ). Brackets
look like this: [ ]. Braces look like this: { }.
Look at the example below. It shows the correct order in which to perform the operations.
2 + (32 x 4) = n
First, compute the exponent inside the parentheses.
2 + (32 x 4) = n
32 = 9
Second, multiply inside the parentheses.
2 + (9 x 4) = n
9 x 4 = 36
Finally, add.
2 + 36 = n
n = 38
2 + (32 x 4) = 38

From Expressions to Equations
You learned about numerical and algebraic expressions in previous lessons. Now, you
will learn how to solve an equation. An equation is a statement that two mathematical
expressions are equal. Hint: You can tell the difference between an expression and an
equation by looking for an equal sign (=). An equal sign tells you that you are dealing with
an equation instead of an expression.
Look at the example below.
Joey had 26 baseball cards in a shoebox under his bed. His best friend gave
him more cards, and now Joey has 100 baseball cards. How many baseball
cards did Joey receive from his best friend?
“had 26 baseball cards”
“friend gave him more”
“now [he] has 100”
This page may not be reproduced.
This page may not be reproduced.
Important Words: First, identify the most important words. These words best describe the
situation and will help you solve the problem.
Variable: Next, choose a variable to represent the unknown number in the situation. Ask
yourself: “What am I trying to find?” or “What do I want to know?”
n = number of baseball cards
Expression: Next, form an algebraic expression by placing one of the known numbers and
the variable together. Be sure to use the correct operation based on what you want to find or
know. Hint: This is where the important words come in handy. They help you decide which
of the known numbers and which operation to use. “More” and “now he has” let you know
that you will be adding.
26 + n
Equation: Finally, form the equation by adding an equal sign and the other known number
to the expression. Since the quantities on both sides of an equal sign must be the same, the
variable will now have an exact answer.
26 + n = 100
Now that you have your equation, how can you solve it? Let’s look at some of the strategies
you can use.

Independent & Dependent Variables
You know that a variable is a symbol or letter that represents an unknown value in an
expression, equation, or inequality. Now, you will learn how to recognize the relationship
between two different variables in the same equation. The independent variable is the
variable that can be changed. The dependent variable is the variable that is affected by
the change in the independent variable. Note: To identify independent and dependent
variables, look closely at the equation. The dependent variable will almost always be isolated
on one side of the equal sign.
Look at the example below.
Gabriel earns $7 per hour mowing yards during the summer.
This page may not be reproduced.
This page may not be reproduced.
You can write an equation to express one quantity (the dependent variable) in terms of the
other quantity (the independent variable), as shown below.
m = 7h
In this situation, the amount of money Gabriel earns (m) depends on the number of hours he
works (h). The number of hours Gabriel works DOES NOT depend on the amount of money
he earns. Therefore, the dependent variable is money (m), and the independent variable is
hours (h).
Try It: Identify the independent and dependent variables in each scenario below.
1. the number of representatives from a state in the House of Representatives (r)
the state’s population (p)
Independent variable: _________
Dependent variable: _________
2. the number of raffle tickets purchased (t)

Discrete vs. Continuous Data
When you graph equations, the data is not always connected with a line. Let’s examine why
this is sometimes true.
Data that contains distinct values is called discrete data. Discrete data is information that
cannot be represented with fractional parts (e.g., people, animals, cars, etc.). Data that
contains any values within a range is called continuous data. Continuous data is
information that can be represented with fractional parts (e.g., time, temperature, distance,
etc.). An easy way to think about this is to remember that discrete data is usually counted
and continuous data is usually measured.
Continuous data is graphed with a line connecting the points. For example, a graph showing
the time it takes to travel a certain distance would have a line connecting the points because
both time and distance could be represented with fractional parts. If all variables can be
represented in fractional parts, the data is continuous.
This page may not be reproduced.
This page may not be reproduced.
Discrete data is graphed with the coordinates only—the points are NOT connected with a
line. For example, a graph showing the cost of food per person would be graphed with
coordinates only (no line connecting them) since a fraction of a person would not be
considered. Even though the cost of food could be represented with fractional parts, people
cannot. If at least one variable must be represented in whole parts, the data is discrete.
On Your Own: Identify whether the data in each item below is discrete or continuous. Then,
circle the correct word to indicate if the graph of the data would have a connecting line.
1. the amount of time worked and the amount of money earned
