6th Grade Math

The sixth grade math program will cover the following topics: place values, equations, order of operations, fractions, decimals, areas, ratios & proportions, percents, geometry, statistics & probability, positive and negative integers, surface areas, volumes, and coordinate plane. In addition, students will apply these concepts to analyze and solve word problems and real life scenarios. This course focuses on honing previous skills taught as well as providing them with new skills necessary for Pre Algebra.

• Place Values- Write numbers in word form, expanded form, and standard form.
• Equations- Solve various types of equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division techniques.
• Order of operations- PEMDAS understanding the significance of simplifying problems using the order of operations properly.
• Fractions- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide simple fractions and mixed numbers and writing them in simplest form.
• Areas- Compute the areas of various shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and circles.
• Ratios & Proportions- Conceptually understand and work with ratios and proportions and apply this skill in solving word problems.
• Percents- Convert between the various number systems percents, decimals, and fractions. Find percent of a number as well as finding the number when a percent is known. Apply percent in solving word problems using equations.
• Geometry- Familiarized with various geometrical plane figures such as lines, rays, angles, complement angles, supplement angles, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines.
• Statistics & Probability- Compute the mean, median, mode, and range. In addition, compute the probability in various types of word problems using cubes, coins, and cards when events are independents or dependent events.
• Positive &Negative Integers- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive and negative integers and using these concepts to solve equations.
• Surface Areas- Compute the surface areas of cubes, and prisms.
• Volumes- Compute the volumes of cubes, prisms, and cylinders.
• Coordinate Plane- Plot points on the coordinate plane, set up a T-chart by finding ordered pairs and finally graph the equation on a coordinate plane.
