Representing Relationship Learning Goal

Students extend their understanding of ratio and rate reasoning to represent proportional

relationships in multiple ways, including relationships among measurement units such

as cups and gallons or meters and kilometers. Students also represent common

non-proportional relationships explored in earlier grades such as area of a square and

volume of a cube. In investigating and representing relationships among variables,

students continue to build fluency with operations on multi-digit whole numbers, multi-digit decimals, and fractions.

Today, my learning target is to…

• Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.• Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters that stand for numbers.• Identify the parts of an expression using mathematical terms.• Evaluate expressions, including those arising from real-world formulas, for specific values of the variables.• Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.• Identify when two expressions are equivalent.• Use variables to write expressions to solve problems.• Write equations using variables to represent two related quantities in a real-world problem.• Analyze relationships between dependent and independent variables using graphs, tables, and equations.• Use the distributive property to express the sum of two whole numbers with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor.
