6th Grade Math

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

• Analyze data using measures of central tendency.
• Represent data sets using various methods and analyze how changes in data impact the representation.
• Model integers and operations with integers including order of operations.
• Compute area and perimeter of standard and compound shapes.
• Use linear models and equal ratios to represent part-whole relationships. Solve percent problems.
• Compare experimental and theoretical probabilities.
• Describe various transformations on a coordinate grid.
• Use variable expressions to represent quantities in contextual problems.
• Simplify variables expressions by combining like terms and using the distributive property.
• Represent data using scatterplots and describe correlations.
• Compare ratios, calculate unit rates and slope ratios.
• Use percents and scale factors to determine percent increase or decrease, discounts and markups.
• Solve linear equations including those with fractional coefficients and those with no or infinite solutions.
• Solve and graph one variable inequalities.
• Represent linear relationships using tables, graphs and equations.
• Solve systems of equations represented in tables and graphs.
• Solve distance, rate and time problems.
• Compute operations with rational numbers.
• Recognize and solve problems involving proportional relationships.
• Recognize and use the ratio of areas between similar shapes.
• Use the triangle inequality and the Pythagorean theorem.
• Represent and simplify expressions using positive and negative exponents.
• Represent solids using nets and compute the volume of a variety of solids.
• Graph and analyze non-linear functions.
• Represent probabilities of multiple events using systemic lists, charts, or tree diagrams
