This lesson is the first lesson for standard 6.EE.3. The Properties of Mathematics is a concept students need to be introduced to. This lesson captures student’s attention because students are discussing and writing the definitions in their own words without realizing it. The equations on the cards are not too challenging, which is the point. The focus is to have students express verbally and in writing why the equations are true or false. Aligned to Common Core State Standard: 6.EE.3
