Hi Bill,
I understand that we will be teaching 6th grade students x-2=5. My questions is: how do we go about teaching it if students are not familiar with the concept of zero pairs? (-2+2)
I think 6.NS.5 is the standard you are looking for:
Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
