This document provides an overview of the concepts and skills students will learn in the 6th grade math unit on expressions. Students will represent repeated multiplication with exponents, evaluate expressions containing exponents, translate phrases into algebraic expressions, identify expression parts, and use properties to generate equivalent expressions. Key concepts include variables, exponents, algebraic expressions, and properties. Examples are provided to demonstrate evaluating expressions, writing expressions for word problems, using the distributive property, and simplifying expressions with exponents.

Georgia Math Grade 6 Associative Property of Addition: The sum of a set of numbers is the same no Textbook Connection: matter how the numbers are grouped. Ch. 5, Lessons 1-7 Associative Property of Multiplication: The product of a set of numbers is the same no matter how the numbers are grouped. Coefficient: A number multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression. Commutative Property of Addition: The sum of a group of numbers is the same regardless of the order in which the numbers are arranged Georgia Math Grade 6 Commutative Property of Multiplication: The product of a group of numbers Textbook Online: is the same regardless of the order in which the numbers are arranged. Constant: A quantity that does not change its value. connected.mcgraw- hill.com Distributive Property: The sum of two addends multiplied by a number is the https://www.mheonline. sum of the product of each addend and the number. com/apps/ Exponent: The number of times a number or expression (called base) is used as a factor of repeated multiplication. Also called the power. Like Terms: Terms in an algebraic expression that have the same variable raised to the same power. Only the coefficients of like terms are different. Order of Operations: The rules to be followed when simplifying expressions. Term: A number, a variable, or a product of numbers and variables. Variable: A letter or symbol used to represent a number or quantities that vary
