Where to go for intervention

PRISM has only mapped this standard's links from Grade 6 so far.

M.6.R.EE.2

Read, and evaluate expressions efficiently, flexibly, and accurately.

a.Write expressions in which letters stand for numbers to write general instructions like "subtract y from 5" as a mathematical expression (5 - y).
b.Break down expressions into smaller parts using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity.
c.Replace values for the variables (evaluating the expression) and use the Order of Operations where appropriate to solve problems including using real-world formulas, and formulas with whole-number exponents.
