Sixth grade is an important year for developing a bridge between the concrete operations of arithmetic and the abstractness of algebraic thinking. Students typically arrive in sixth grade fluent in addition, subtraction, and multiplication using multi-digit whole numbers. They should have a solid understanding of all four operations with positive rational numbers. They also have an initial understanding of measurement, and how to represent and interpret data.
