Grade 6 is the first year where algebra and functions appear as a named domain: variables, expressions, and equations replace purely arithmetic reasoning. Number sense expands to include negative numbers and absolute value, while ratios and proportional reasoning become a major focus. Geometry and measurement shift toward area and volume formulas, and data analysis introduces statistical distributions.
