By the End of Sixth Grade, Students Should Be Able to Decompose and Recompose Whole Numbers

Grade

6

By the end of sixth grade, students should be able to decompose and recompose whole numbers (factors, exponents, prime factorization). They should be able to analyze and compute with rational numbers (ratios, decimals, percents) in a variety of situations including estimation and real-life examples. They should develop strategies and follow formulas for finding and comparing perimeter, area, surface area, and volume for various regular and irregular shapes. Students leaving sixth grade should be able to classify, describe, reproduce, and transform two- and three-dimensional geometric figures making sure to use appropriate vocabulary. They should be able to represent, analyze, evaluate, and generate patterns, rules and functions using tables, graphs, and technology with linear equations involving up to two variables. By the end of sixth grade, they should be able to read, construct, interpret and compare various graphs and determine statistical data (mean, median, mode, range, outlier) to make logical inferences from given information.
