STANDARD Standard 6.EE.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. For example, in a problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship between distance and time. END OF UNIT COMPETENCY WITH LANGUAGE SUPPORTS I can use tables and graphs to find and analyze the relationship between two quantities. Language Supports: ●​ Vocabulary (analyze, quantity)

I can write an equation to show the relationship between dependent and independent variables. ●​ Vocabulary (dependent, independent)

LEARNING INTENTIONS

●​ I can recognize when two quantities relate to each other, i.e., as one quantity changes independently, the other quantity changes in a related way. ●​ I can make sense of quantities to identify the independent variable and dependent variable and determine the value of the dependent variable given the relationship between two quantities. ●​ I can use a table and a graph to determine the relationship between two variable quantities. ●​ I can use a graph as a tool to analyze the relationship between two variable quantities.
