6.EE.A.4 | Identify when two expressions are equivalent. |
6.EE.A.5 | Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? |
6.EE.B.6 | Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem. |

6.EE.B.8 | Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. |
6.EE.C.9 | Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. |
6.G.A.1 | Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes. |
6.G.A.2 | Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths. |
6.G.A.3 | Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. |
6.G.A.4 | Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. |
6.SP.A.1 | Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. |
6.SP.A.2 | Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape. |
6.SP.A.3 | Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number. |
6.SP.B.4 | Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots. |
6.SP.B.5 | Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context. |
Alaska 6th Grade Math Topics
6th grade math in Alaska covers a wide range of topics aligned to the Alaska Mathematics Standards. Students move from whole-number operations into more complex concepts including ratios, negative numbers, and introductory algebra. Here is what your child will study this year.
Ratios, Rates, and Proportional Reasoning
Students learn to describe relationships between two quantities using ratio language and unit rates. They apply ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world problems, including problems involving percentages and measurement conversions.
Number Systems
6th graders extend their understanding of numbers to include fractions divided by fractions, multi-digit decimal operations, and positive and negative integers. They learn to locate rational numbers on a number line and in all four quadrants of a coordinate plane, and they practice finding absolute value and ordering rational numbers.
Expressions and Equations
Students write and evaluate numerical expressions with whole-number exponents, use variables to represent unknown quantities, and apply properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. They solve one-step equations and inequalities of the form x + p = q and px = q, and they begin exploring dependent and independent variables in real-world contexts.
Geometry
6th grade geometry focuses on finding the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing and decomposing shapes. Students also find the volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths, use the coordinate plane to find side lengths of polygons, and represent three-dimensional figures using nets to calculate surface area.
Statistics and Data
Students are introduced to statistical thinking, learning to identify statistical questions, describe data distributions by center and spread, and display data in dot plots, histograms, and box plots. They summarize data sets by calculating mean, median, mode, and range in context.
