Math: 6th Grade

Math in 6th grade focuses on the following areas: ratios and solving equations using ratios; division of fractions; statistical thinking; and working with negative and rational numbers. Students in middle school continue to deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts and explain how they solve equations through writing and discussions.





To build math skills, your sixth grader:

Divides fractions by fractions.	Solves equations using ratios, rates, or percentages.	Solves equations with negative numbers.	Multiplies and divides multi-digit numbers.	Solves algebraic equations with one variable and explains how these equations were solved.	Solves geometry problems related to surface area, area, and volume as applied to real-world situations.
