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. |
Rhode Island 6th Grade Math Topics
StudyPug covers every major topic in the Rhode Island 6th grade math curriculum. From ratios and unit rates to geometry and statistics, each lesson is built around the Rhode Island Math Standards so students are always learning what their school expects.
Ratios, Rates, and Proportional Reasoning
6th graders learn to understand ratios, describe ratio relationships, and apply unit rates to real-world problems. StudyPug's video lessons walk through ratio language, rate reasoning, and how to use these skills to solve everyday math problems step by step.
Number Operations: Fractions, Decimals, and Whole Numbers
Students practice dividing fractions by fractions, using the standard algorithm for multi-digit division, and fluently computing with multi-digit decimals. They also find the greatest common factor and least common multiple. Each operation is broken into short, clear video lessons with practice problems.
The Number System: Integers and the Coordinate Plane
6th grade introduces negative numbers and rational numbers. Students place values on a number line, compare and order rational numbers, understand absolute value, and graph points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. StudyPug explains each concept visually with worked examples.
Expressions and Equations
Students write and evaluate numerical expressions with exponents, use variables to write algebraic expressions, apply properties of operations, and identify equivalent expressions. They also solve one-step equations and inequalities and explore dependent and independent variables. These skills are foundational for 7th grade pre-algebra.
Geometry: Area, Surface Area, and Volume
6th graders find the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing and decomposing shapes. They calculate the volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths, use coordinates to find side lengths, and represent 3D figures with nets to find surface area.
Statistics and Data
Students learn to identify statistical questions, understand data distributions, and describe data using measures of center and variation. They display data in dot plots, histograms, and box plots, and summarize data sets in context. StudyPug's lessons make these abstract ideas concrete with clear visual explanations.
Preparing for the RICAS Assessment
Rhode Island students in grade 6 take the RICAS math assessment. StudyPug's content aligns to Rhode Island Math Standards across all 6th grade domains, giving students targeted practice in every area that may appear on the test.
