In sixth grade, we focus on the following topics: 1) developing greater fluency in arithmetic skills learned in prior grades—in particular fractions, decimals and percents; 2) developing the ability to solve increasingly complex mathematical challenges; 3) working with ratios and rates; 4) developing a deeper understanding of rational numbers and integers; 5) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and monovariate equations; 6) converting between different units of measurement; 7) determining the shapes and sizes of basic geometric shapes; and 8) applying mathematical reasoning to solve real world questions taken from our physics main lesson block and selected current events.
