Common Core Standards Represent & Solve [1 variable]
Grade:	6th Grade
Standard:	Math.6.EE.5 or 6.EE.B.5
Description:	Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.
Standard:	Math.6.EE.6 or 6.EE.B.6
Description:	Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.
Standard:	Math.6.EE.7 or 6.EE.B.7
Description:	Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
Standard:	Math.6.EE.8 or 6.EE.B.8
Description:	Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

An equation is a mathematical statement that two quantities are equal.

Equations can be used to represent and solve problems.
Sometimes part of an equation is unknown.
Unknown values can be represented by a variety of letters and/or symbols.
