This year's sixth grade math will be taught by Mrs. Schroeder. Advanced mathematics will be taught by Mrs. Garren.
Unit I - Review of Number System, divisibility rules, finding greatest common factors and least common multiples
Unit II - Fractions - Operations and Applications A. Compare and Order Fractions using the number line, lists, and the symbols <, >, or = B. Represent multiplication and division of fractions using number lines and area models connected to equations C. Estimate products and quotients of fractions D. Fluently and accurately multiply and divide fractions and be able to explain the relationship between multiplication and division with fractions. E. Solve single- and multi-step word problems involving operations with fractions and verify the solutions.
Unit III: Operations with Decimals Estimation Practice Online A. Place value and the number system B. Compare and order non-negative decimals C. Multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by powers of ten D. Multiply and divide non-negative decimals E. Describe and show the effect of multiplying or dividing a number by one, by zero, by a number between zero and one, and by a number a number greater than one.
Unit IV: Patterns and Algebraic Thinking 6.2.A Write a mathematical expression or equation with variables to represent information in a table or given situation. 6.2.B Draw a first quadrant graph in the coordinate plane to represent information in a table or a given situation
A. Patterns and number sense B. Order of operations C. Variables and expressions - writing and modeling variable expressions. Using tables to evaluate v.e. D.Equations - modeling and solving equations that use addition and subtraction E. Equations - modeling and solving equations that use multiplication and division F. Algebraic Properties - identity, associative, commutative G. Solving one-step word problems that involve variable expressions. This includes writing one-step equations that represent situations in real life.
Unit V: Ratios, Rates and Proportions A. Identify and write ratios as comparisons of part-to-part and part-to-whole relationships B. Write ratios to represent a variety of rates C. Represent percents visually and numerically and convert between the fractional, decimal, and percent representations of a number. D. Solve single- and multi-step word problems involving ratios, rates, and percents, and verify the solutions Real World Scale Models and Ratios - a video for youUnit VII:

Describe and sort polyhedra by their attributes: parallel faces, types of faces, number of faces, edges, and vertices. F. Solve single and multi-step word problems involving the relationship between diameter, radius, circumference, and area.
Unit VIII: Develop Understanding of Statistical Thinking (Common Core) 6.SP.1 A statistical question is one that anticipates variability in the data 6.SP.2 A set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape (Mean, Median, Mode, Range and interpretation of each) 6.SP.3 A measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number. A measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number. Unit III - Fractions - Operations and Applications A.
