Common Core Standards
This session will address the following:
12
6.EE.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which leCers stand for numbers. 6.EE.4 IdenAfy when two expressions are equivalent. 6.EE.9 Write an equaAon to express one quanAty (dependent variable) in terms of the other quanAty (independent variable).
SLIDE 13
Staircase Problem
SLIDE 14
Staircase Problem
In your pair, use a variable to write 2 different ways to describe your generalization.
SLIDE 15
Staircase Problem
Share your expressions with your table.

Staircase Problem: Student Work 1
Think-pair-share: Describe the student’s thinking from this work.

SLIDE 18
Discussion: Staircase Problem Video
- How would you describe this strategy?
- What type of thinking is evidenced in the
video?

SLIDE 19
Staircase Problem: Reflec8on
What strategies do you see when your students work this classic problem? How do these strategies demonstrate understanding of explicit
- r recursive thinking?

SLIDE 20
Recursive and Explicit Rules
20
- In a recursive rule, each term is defined as a
function of its preceding term(s).
- An explicit rule designates each term as an
expression of its location within the sequence.
SLIDE 21
Recursive to Explicit Thinking
Recursive or Explicit Rules
- Connect the change that occurred from one
figure to the next in a recursive manner.
- Use recursive model to write an explicit
expression.
- Simplify expression.

Student Performance
How do you think 4th, 8th, and 12th graders would do on a task like this? Talk about it at your tables.

Variables
- In the Staircase Problem, you used a variable.
- At your table, describe different ways that we
can think about a variable. In general, what can it represent?
24
SLIDE 25
Use of Variable
- Variables have many different meanings,
depending on context and purpose.
- Using variables permits wriAng expressions
whose values are not known or vary under different circumstances.
- Using variables permits represenAng varying
- quanAAes. This use of variables is parAcularly
important in studying relaAonships between varying quanAAes.

SLIDE 26
Use of a variable
- When you think about your curriculum
materials, what is the most ofen used role of a variable?
- How does that impact student understanding
- f variable?

SLIDE 27
How would students respond?
Bart said, “t + 3 is less than 5 + t.” Always true SomeAmes true Never true Explain your answer. Cupcakes cost c cents each and doughnuts cost d cents each. I buy 4 cupcakes and 3 doughnuts. What does 4c + 3d stand for or represent?
