GRADE 6 MATHEMATICS
Overview -
How do mathematicians think, write, and speak? Find out in Grade 6 Mathematics, where students will experience new ways of solving problems through interactive and engaging activities. With a focus on hands-on learning and real-world application, students will be exposed to foundational concepts needed for higher-level math study, including integer operations, equations, and statistics.

- Determine a rate for a ratio of quantities with different units, and calculate and interpret the corresponding unit rate given a real-world context
- Generate or complete a two- or three-column table to display equivalent part-to-part ratios and part-to-part-to-whole ratios
- Apply ratio relationships to solve mathematical and real-world problems involving percentages using the relationship between two quantities
- Solve multi-step, real-world percent problems (accelerated)
- Apply ratios to solve real-world problems involving proportions (accelerated)
- Recognize and formulate a statistical question that would generate numerical data
- Find and interpret mean, median, mode, and range given a numerical data set within a real-world context
- Determine the minimum, the lower quartile, the median, the upper quartile, and the maximum given a box plot within a real-world context and use a summary of the data to describe the spread and distribution of the data
- Create box plots and histograms to represent sets of numerical data within real-world contexts
- Describe and interpret the spread and distribution of the data, including any symmetry, skewness, gaps, clusters, outliers, and the range given a histogram or line plot within a real-world context
- Determine and describe how changes in data values impact measures of center and variation given a real-world scenario
- Determine an appropriate measure of center or measure of variation to summarize numerical data, represented numerically or graphically, taking into consideration the context and any outliers (accelerated)
- Use the measure(s) of center and measure(s) of variability to make comparisons, interpret results, and draw conclusions about two populations given two numerical or graphical representations of data (accelerated)
- Use proportional relationships to make predictions about a population, given categorical data from a random sample (accelerated)
- Plot rational number ordered pairs in all four quadrants and on both axes and identify the x- or y-axis as the line of reflection when two ordered pairs have an opposite x- or y-coordinate
- Find distances between ordered pairs, limited to the same x-coordinate or the same y-coordinate, represented on the coordinate plane
- Solve mathematical and real-world problems by plotting points on a coordinate plane, including finding the perimeter or area of a rectangle
- Derive a formula for the area of a right triangle using a rectangle and apply the formula to find the area of a triangle
- Solve mathematical and real-world problems involving the area of quadrilaterals and composite figures by decomposing them into triangles or rectangles
- Apply formulas to find the areas of trapezoids, parallelograms, and rhombi (accelerated)
- Solve mathematical or real-world problems involving the area of polygons or composite figures by decomposing them into triangles or quadrilaterals (accelerated)
- Find the surface area of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids using the figure’s net given a mathematical or real-world context
