AB Grade 6 Math Topics
- Integers and Number Lines: Identify negative numbers, compare and order positive and negative numbers, and model sums of integers including additive inverses.
- Addition and Subtraction: Apply standard algorithms to solve addition and subtraction problems across a range of contexts.
- Factors, Primes, and Powers: Compose products in multiple ways, express prime factorization, determine common factors, and write products of identical factors as powers.
- Multiplication and Division of Decimals: Explain and use standard algorithms for multiplying and dividing decimals, and assess reasonableness with estimation.
- Fractions as Division: Model equal-sharing situations, express fractions as division statements, and convert quotients between fraction and decimal form.
- Adding and Subtracting Fractions: Recognize fractions with related denominators, add and subtract fractions, and solve related problems.
- Multiplying Fractions and Natural Numbers: Relate multiplication of natural numbers by fractions to repeated addition, connect unit fractions to division, and solve problems.
- Ratios, Rates, and Percentages: Determine equivalent ratios, express unit rates, relate percentages to proportions, and solve problems involving ratios and rates.
- Algebraic Expressions and Equations: Evaluate numerical expressions, simplify algebraic expressions, solve one- and two-operation equations, and verify solutions.
- 2-D Geometry and Symmetry: Verify symmetry, investigate tessellations, classify shapes by symmetry, and demonstrate congruence.
- Coordinate Geometry: Locate points in the Cartesian plane, model polygons with coordinates, and create images through translations, reflections, and rotations.
- Area: Determine areas of parallelograms, triangles, and composite shapes.
- Volume: Recognize and model volume of prisms, express volume in cubic units, and solve problems involving right rectangular prisms.
- Functions and Patterns: Identify dependent and independent variables, describe function rules, represent functions in tables and the Cartesian plane, and write algebraic expressions.
- Statistics and Probability: Interpret relative frequencies, identify possible outcomes, collect and analyze categorized data, and describe likelihood using relative frequency.
How StudyPug Helps Alberta Grade 6 Math Students
When your child hits a wall on a topic like integer addition or fraction multiplication, StudyPug lets them go straight to the relevant lesson, watch it as many times as needed, and then work through practice problems with step-by-step solutions. You can also use the grade 6 math quiz to spot which strands need more work before a test or the Grade 6 PAT.
