Virginia Standards of Learning: 6th Grade

6.6a The student will solve problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division with fractions and mixed numbers, with and without regrouping, that include like and unlike denominators of 12 or less, and express their answers in s

6.6a The student will solve problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division with fractions and mixed numbers, with and without regrouping, that include like and unlike denominators of 12 or less, and express their answers in simplest form; and

6.6b The student will find the quotient, given a dividend expressed as a decimal through thousandths and a divisor expressed as a decimal to thousandths with exactly one non-zero digit.

6.7 The student will use estimation strategies to solve multistep practical problems involving whole numbers, decimals, and fractions (rational numbers).

6.14 The student will identify, classify, and describe the characteristics of plane figures, describing their similarities, differences, and defining properties.

6.15 The student will determine congruence of segments, angles, and polygons by direct comparison, given their attributes. Examples of noncongruent and congruent figures will be included.

6.10 The student will estimate and then determine length, weight/mass, area, and liquid volume/capacity, using standard and nonstandard units of measure.

6.11 The student will determine if a problem situation involving polygons of four or fewer sides represents the application of perimeter or area and apply the appropriate formula.

6.13a The student will estimate angle measures, using 45°, 90°, and 180° as referents, and use the appropriate tools to measure the given angles

6.13a The student will estimate angle measures, using 45°, 90°, and 180° as referents, and use the appropriate tools to measure the given angles

6.13b The student will measure and draw right, acute, and obtuse angles and triangles.

6.1 The student will identify representations of a given percent and describe orally and in writing the equivalence relationships among fractions, decimals, and percents.

6.2 The student will describe and compare two sets of data, using ratios, and will use appropriate notations, such as a/b, a to b, and a:b.

6.3a The student will find common multiples and factors, including least common multiple and greatest common factor

6.3b The student will identify and describe prime and composite numbers; and identify and describe the characteristics of even and odd integers.

6.4 The student will compare and order whole numbers, fractions, and decimals, using concrete materials, drawings or pictures, and mathematical symbols.

6.21 The student will investigate, describe, and extend numerical and geometric patterns, including triangular numbers, patterns formed by powers of 10, and arithmetic sequences.

6.23b The student will solve one-step linear equations in one variable, involving whole number coefficients and positive rational solutions

6.18a The student, given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data in a variety of graphical methods, including line, bar, and circle graphs

6.18b The student, given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data in a variety of graphical methods, including stem-and-leaf plots

6.18c The student, given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data in a variety of graphical methods, including box-and-whisker plots.

6.19 The student will describe the mean, median, and mode as measures of central tendency, describe the range, and determine their meaning for a set of data.
