Standard:
MGSE6.NS.1- Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions,
including reasoning strategies such as using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.
MGSE6.NS.2 Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
MGSE6.NS.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
MGSE6.NS.4 Find the common multiples of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12 and the common factors of two whole
numbers less than or equal to 100.
a. Find the greatest common factor of 2 whole numbers and use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole
numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factors. (GCF)
Example: 36 + 8 = 4(9 + 2)
b. Apply the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12 to solve real-world problems.
Essential Questions:

 Why would it be useful to know the greatest common factor of a set of numbers?
 Why would it be useful to know the least common multiple of a set of numbers?
 How can the distributive property help me with computation?
 Why does the process of invert and multiply work when dividing fractions?
 When I divide one number by another number, do I always get a quotient smaller than my original number?
 When I divide a fraction by a fraction what do the dividend, quotient and divisor represent?
 What kind of models can I use to show solutions to word problems involving fractions?
 Which strategies are helpful when dividing multi-digit numbers?
 Which strategies are helpful when performing operations on multi-digit decimals?

Vocabulary Words:

 Algorithm: a step-by-step solution to a problem.

 Difference: The amount left after one number is subtracted from another number.
 Distributive Property: The sum of two addends multiplied by a number equals the sum of the product of each
addend and that number.
 Dividend: A number that is divided by another number
 Divisor: A number by which another number is to be divided.
 Factor: When two or more integers are multiplied, each number is a factor of the product. "To factor" means to
write the number or term as a product of its factors.
 Greatest Common Factor: The largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.
 Least Common Multiple: The smallest multiple (other than zero) that two or more numbers have in common.
 Measurement Model of Division: When we know the original amount and the size or measure of ONE part, we
use measurement division to find the number of parts. Ex: 20 is how many groups of 4?
 Minuend: The number that is to be subtracted from.
 Multiple: The product of a given whole number and an integer.
 Quotient: A number that is the result of division.
 Partitive Model of Division: When we know the original amount and the number of parts, we use partitive
division to find the size of each part. Ex: 20 is 4 groups of what unit?
 Reciprocal: Two numbers whose product is 1. The reciprocal of a fraction can be found by inverting that fraction
(switching the denominator and numerator).
 Sum: The number you get by adding two or more numbers together.
 Subtrahend: The number that is to be subtracted.
 Product: A number that is the result of multiplication.
