01Number: Place Value, Operations, Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
Grade 6 number work rests on place value from millions down to thousandths, fluent multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and the connections among fractions, decimals, and percents. You should be able to round whole numbers and decimals, compare and order them, find factors and multiples, identify prime and composite numbers, and apply the order of operations.
366 words, about 2 min02Patterns and Relations: Rules, Expressions, and Equations
This strand asks you to describe, extend, and generalize patterns, and to move between words, tables, expressions, and equations. A numeric pattern may grow by a constant difference (arithmetic) or by a constant multiplier (geometric).
400 words, about 2 min03Shape and Space: Measurement, Area, Volume, and Geometry
Shape and space covers measurement units and conversions, perimeter, area of rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms, volume of rectangular prisms, angle relationships, and properties of two- and three-dimensional figures. You should know that the area of a triangle is half the base times the height, that the area of a parallelogram is base times height, and that volume of a prism is the area of its base times its height.
390 words, about 2 min04Statistics and Probability: Data Displays, Averages, and Chance
This strand covers collecting and organizing data, reading and constructing graphs, describing a data set with mean, median, mode, and range, and expressing probability as a fraction, decimal, or percent between 0 and 1.
