6.NS.5 | Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values. |
6.NS.6 | Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates. |

6.EE.A.3 | Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. |
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.7 | Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers. |
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. |
Delaware 6th Grade Math: Topics and Standards
Delaware 6th grade math is organized around six major areas: ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics and probability. Every topic on StudyPug aligns to the Delaware Math Content Standards, the same standards used in Delaware public schools.
Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Students learn to describe ratios, calculate unit rates, and apply ratio reasoning to real-world problems including percent, measurement conversion, and data tables. These skills form the foundation for 7th grade proportional reasoning.
The Number System
6th graders extend their understanding of numbers to include negative integers and rational numbers. Topics include dividing fractions by fractions, multi-digit decimal operations, greatest common factor, least common multiple, and plotting points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.
Expressions and Equations
Students write and evaluate numerical expressions with whole-number exponents, use variables to represent unknowns, apply properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions, and solve one-step equations and inequalities of the form x + p = q and px = q.
Geometry
Geometry topics in 6th grade include finding areas of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons, calculating the volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths, drawing polygons on the coordinate plane, and using nets to find surface area of three-dimensional figures.
Statistics and Probability
Students are introduced to statistical thinking, including identifying statistical questions, describing data distributions by center and spread, and displaying data using dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
Preparing for the DeSSA
Delaware students in grades 3–8 take the DeSSA (Delaware System of Student Assessments). StudyPug's 6th grade math content covers every standard tested so students are well prepared before assessment day.
- Ratios and unit rates
- Fraction and decimal operations
- Integers and rational numbers
- Expressions, equations, and inequalities
- Area, surface area, and volume
- Data displays and statistical summaries
