Grade 6
PrintSixth grade formalizes ratio reasoning and introduces proportional relationships as a major conceptual thread. The number system expands to include all rational numbers, while expressions and equations give students algebraic tools for representing and solving problems. Statistics and probability begin with distributions, measures of center, and data displays.
