South Carolina 6th Grade Math Curriculum | StudyPugHelp
ID | Standard | StudyPug Topic |
|---|---|---|
6.RP.A.1 | Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. |
6.RP.A.2 | Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. |
6.RP.A.3 | Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems. |
6.NS.A.1 | Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions. |
6.NS.B.2 | Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. |
6.NS.B.3 | Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation. |
6.NS.B.4 | Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. |
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.NS.7 | Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers. |
6.NS.8 | Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. |
6.EE.A.1 | Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents. |
6.EE.A.2 | Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. |
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. |
6th Grade Math Topics in South Carolina
South Carolina's 6th grade math curriculum follows the SC College Career Ready Standards and covers six major areas: ratios and proportional relationships, the number system, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics and probability. StudyPug covers every one of these areas with video lessons and practice problems.
Ratios, Rates, and Proportional Reasoning
Students learn to describe ratio relationships, understand unit rates, and use ratio reasoning to solve real-world problems. These skills appear on the SC READY assessment and lay the groundwork for proportional reasoning in 7th grade.
The Number System
6th graders extend their understanding of fractions, learn to divide fractions by fractions, work fluently with multi-digit decimals, and explore positive and negative integers on the number line. Absolute value and coordinate plane graphing in all four quadrants are also introduced.
Expressions and Equations
Students write and evaluate numerical expressions with exponents, use variables to write algebraic expressions, 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
6th grade geometry covers area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons; volume of rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths; coordinate plane geometry; and surface area using nets. These skills connect directly to real-world measurement problems.
Statistics and Data Analysis
Students learn to recognize statistical questions, describe data distributions using center and spread, and display data using dot plots, histograms, and box plots. Summarizing data sets in context is a key skill tested on SC READY.
