6th Grade Math Guide

record language students use to explain how Andre’s tape diagram can be used to solve the equation. Listen for phrases such as “equal parts,” “same size,” and “group of ⅔ .” If groups are stuck, consider asking “How are the number of groups represented in the tape diagram?”, “Where are the values in the equation represented in the diagram?”, or “What do the blue and white parts represent?” Post the collected language in the front of the room so that students can refer to it throughout the rest of the activity and lesson. This will help students develop mathematical language to explain how a tape diagram can be used to solve a division problem. Lesson 11 “Are You Ready for More?” You have a pint of grape juice and a pint of milk. Transfer 1 tablespoon from the grape juice into the milk and mix it up. Then transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture back to the grape juice. Which mixture is more contaminated?
