Replacing Letters with Numbers
When did letters become the same as numbers? Scholars learn about substituting numbers for letters to evaluate algebraic expressions in the seventh part in a series of 36. The instructional activity focuses on expressions related to...
EngageNY
The Order of Operations
Future mathematicians learn how to evaluate numerical expressions by applying the order of operations. They evaluate similar-looking expressions to see how the location of parentheses and exponents affects the value.
EngageNY
The Relationship of Multiplication and Addition
You know 4 + 4 + 4 = 3(4), but what about x + x + x? Pairs work together to develop equivalent expressions relating multiplication and addition in the third lesson of a 36-part series. They extend their knowledge of multiplication as...
EngageNY
The Relationship of Addition and Subtraction
Add an outstanding resource to your repertoire. The first installment of a 36-part module looks at the relationship between addition and subtraction through an activity using tape diagrams. Pupils develop the identities w – x + x = w and...

Symmetry in the Coordinate Plane
The 17th installment of a 21-part module investigates symmetry in the coordinate plane. After plotting several examples, scholars develop a rule for the coordinates of a point after reflecting over the x-axis, the y-axis, or both.

End-of-Module Assessment Task: Grade 6 Math Module 3
The last installment of a 21-part module is an end-of-module assessment. Individuals show their understanding of positive and negative numbers on the number line, absolute value, and the coordinate plane in a variety of contexts.
EngageNY
Problem Solving and the Coordinate Plane
Class members investigate rectangles on the coordinate plane. They determine the length of line segments in the coordinate plane with the same x-coordinate or same y-coordinate and then solve geometric problems involving perimeter and...
EngageNY
Distance on the Coordinate Plane
Scholars learn how to find the distance of vertical and horizontal line segments on the coordinate plane in the 19th installment of a 21-part module. The use of absolute value comes in handy.
EngageNY
Drawing the Coordinate Plane and Points on the Plane
To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...
EngageNY
Locating Ordered Pairs on the Coordinate Plane
Four quadrants, four times the fun. Future mathematicians learn the terminology associated with the coordinate plane and how to plot points in all four quadrants. A worksheet tests their understanding of the material in the 16th...
EngageNY
Ordered Pairs
Scholars learn to plot points on the coordinate plane. The lesson plan introduces the idea that the first coordinate of a coordinate pair represents the horizontal distance and the second coordinate represents the vertical distance.
EngageNY
Mid-Module Assessment Task: Grade 6 Math Module 3
Ensure your class has a solid understanding of positive and negative integers before moving on. The 14th installment of a 21-part series is a mid-module assessment. Scholars solve problems on positive and negative integers, on ordering...

Statements of Order in the Real World
Positive and negative numbers are all around us. Groups read short story contexts and identify a rational number that represents the values in the context. They order the rational numbers and interpret statements of inequality.
EngageNY
The Relationship Between Absolute Value and Order
Order up a resource on absolute value and order. The 12th installment of a 21-part module investigates the relationship between absolute value and the order of numbers on a number line. Scholars determine how the actual values and the...
EngageNY
Absolute Value—Magnitude and Distance
Do you want to use the resource? Absolutely. Scholars learn about absolute value and its relation to magnitude and distance on a number line. They compare numbers in context by applying absolute value.
EngageNY
Writing and Interpreting Inequality Statements Involving Rational Numbers
Statements often have multiple interpretations — but not these inequality statements. Scholars compare rational numbers and write inequality statements symbolically. The activity includes problems that require comparing three numbers.
EngageNY
Comparing Integers and Other Rational Numbers
The ninth installment of a 21-part module has pupils compare integers and rational numbers in decimal and fraction form. They match stories to number lines and compare values in the stories.
EngageNY
Ordering Integers and Other Rational Numbers II
Individuals build on prior knowledge to order a set of rational numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least. As part of the lesson, they order rational numbers written in different forms.
EngageNY
Ordering Integers and Other Rational Numbers
Scholars learn to order rational numbers in the seventh instructional activity in a series of 21. Reasoning about numbers on a number line allows for this ordering.
EngageNY
Rational Numbers on the Number Line
Individuals learn how to plot rational numbers on the number line in the sixth lesson of a 21-part module. They identify appropriate units and determine opposites of rational numbers.
