In the sixth grade, learning should concentrate on four key areas: relating ratio and rate to multiplication and division with whole numbers, applying ratio and rate concepts to problem-solving; mastering fraction division and expanding to rational numbers, including negative numbers; working with expressions, equations, and interpretation; and gaining insight into statistical analysis.
In Grade 6, students continue to expand on their prior knowledge of area from elementary school by analyzing the connections between shapes to calculate area, surface area, and volume. They determine the areas of right triangles, as well as other triangles and specific quadrilaterals, through breaking down the shapes, moving or taking away parts, and connecting them to rectangles. By employing these techniques, students engage in conversations, create, and provide reasons for formulas pertaining to the areas of triangles and parallelograms.
This ebook provides practice with 30 graded math activities, also including an answer sheet at the end.
