TestSMART® Common Core Teacher Guide—Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II © ECS Learning Systems, Inc. 3 TestSMART® Common Core Sample Booklet Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II 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. This page may not be reproduced. This page may not be reproduced. 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 © ECS Learning Systems, Inc. TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text, Teacher Guide TestSMART® Common Core Teacher Guide—Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II 4 © ECS Learning Systems, Inc. 3 TestSMART® Common Core Sample Booklet 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. 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). 4 TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text, Teacher Guide © ECS Learning Systems, Inc.

TestSMART® Common Core Teacher Guide—Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II © ECS Learning Systems, Inc. 7 TestSMART® Common Core Sample Booklet Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II 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. • • • • This page may not be reproduced. This page may not be reproduced. 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 For more information about the CCSS initiative, please visit http://www.corestandards.org. * This information was current at time of publication. 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— • • • • • • • • • critical/evaluative thinking creative/innovative thinking elaborative thinking problem solving decision making researching collaboration communication organizing and connecting ideas © ECS Learning Systems, Inc. TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text, Teacher Guide TestSMART® Common Core Teacher Guide—Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II 8 © ECS Learning Systems, Inc. 9 TestSMART® Common Core Sample Booklet Mathematics, Grade 6—Book II “ 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). This page may not be reproduced. This page may not be reproduced. 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. Rich, complex mathematics tasks— • • • • • “ Rich mathematics experiences provide students with opportunities to see structure, patterns, and relationships in many different contexts.” 10 • • • • • • • • begin with a clear, explicit, reasonable, actionable learning goal incorporate the use of sound number sense and basic computational skills rely on the integrated development of mathematical skills and understandings build on prior knowledge and personal experience utilize a variety of settings in which to explore and share mathematical ideas with others (i.e., paired, small-group, whole-class) encourage risk-taking to further the learning process encourage students to work and think mathematically invite all students to participate in constructive math inquiries and discussions promote complex thinking and transfer of understanding by focusing on the “big ideas” and “essential questions” apply mathematical ideas to a broad range of real-life and imagined situations help students learn to use the precise language of mathematics for specific purposes require students to make conjectures, hypothesize, test and retest ideas, justify thinking, represent findings in meaningful ways, and reflect require students to look for and utilize the underlying order and logic of mathematics when problem solving TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text, Teacher Guide © ECS Learning Systems, Inc.

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.

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 continue to next page 14 TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text © ECS Learning Systems, Inc.

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. continue to next page © ECS Learning Systems, Inc.

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) the chances of winning (c) Independent variable: _________ Dependent variable: _________ 3. a toddler’s behavior (b) the length of the toddler’s nap (n) Independent variable: _________ © ECS Learning Systems, Inc.

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 Type of Data: _________________________ The graph WOULD WOULD NOT have a connecting line. 2. the number of people at a campout and the number of tents needed Type of Data: _________________________ The graph 116 WOULD WOULD NOT TestSMART® Common Core Student Work Text have a connecting line. © ECS Learning Systems, Inc.
