K12-MATHS-CLASS-6

To satisfy the Common Core Standards for 6th grade

mathematics this course focuses on four critical areas.

First, students will learn to connect the ideas of ratio and

rate to multiplication and division. If they can view ratios

and rates as originating from and extending pairs of rows

or columns the connection with multiplication and

division allows students to expand on their skills.

Second, the students will complete their understanding

of the division of fractions and of the system of rational

numbers, including negative numbers. They will

understand the order and absolute value of rational

numbers and the location of points on the four quadrants

of the coordinate plane. Third, the students will learn to

write and understand expressions and equations. The

students will become able to write equations and

expressions that describe a given situation. They

understand that the solutions of an equation are the

variables that make the equation true. The students learn

to solve simple one-step equations and can create tables

to describe the relationships between values. Fourth, the

students will begin to develop an understanding of

statistics. They will understand that data distribution may

not have a definite center and that different methods of

measurement can provide different values. The students

will learn how to use and calculate the mean and median

of a group of numbers. They learn how the measurement

of variability helps to describe a set of data.

In our Grade 6 mathematics course, students deepen their understanding of multiplication and division of fractions to apply their knowledge to divide fractions by fractions, with an additional focus on increasing efficiency and fluency. Students gain a foundation in the concepts of ratio and rate as an extension of their work with whole number multiplication and division, and in preparation for work with proportional relationships in Grade 7. Students also make connections among area, volume, and surface area, and continue to lay the groundwork for deep algebraic understanding by interpreting and using expressions and equations.
