6th Grade Math

Course Length

2 Semesters

This course begins by connecting ratio and rate to multiplication and division, allowing students to use ratio reasoning to solve a wide variety of problems. They further apply their understanding of multiplication and division to explain the standard procedure for dividing fractions. This course builds upon previous notions of the number system to now include the entire set of rational numbers.

Students begin to understand the use of variables as they write, evaluate, and simplify expressions.
They use the idea of equality and properties of operations to solve one-step equations and
inequalities. In statistics, students explore different graphical ways to display data. They use data
displays, measures of center, and measures of variability to summarize data sets. The course
concludes with students reasoning about relationships among shapes to determine area, surface area, and volume.
