Algebra subtraction hook3/9/2024 ![]() ![]() Students have to understand math vocabulary to be successful, as well as understand how specific words affect the relationships between numbers. This skill connects to everyday life because lots of ACTUAL problems are solved by writing expressions with variables. I’ve come across problems before where I had to really think to make sure my answer was correct. The tricky part, and the real life application, is having to write the equation from words. Writing expressions with variables is when you write an equation with a letter to represent an unknown number (CCSS 6.EE.B.6). But let me tell you, if a student asks you this question when they’re learning about writing expressions, you’re going to be ready to answer! If you’re a teacher you’ve probably had a student raise their hand and ask you, “When are we ever going to use this in real life?” I’m not going to lie, I’ve had this question asked before in math where I didn’t have a strong, concrete answer.
