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. |

Everything Pennsylvania parents need to know about helping their child succeed in 6th grade math
What math topics does my 6th grader need to master?
Pennsylvania 6th graders focus on ratios and proportional relationships, operations with fractions and decimals, negative numbers, expressions and equations, geometry including area and volume, and statistics and data analysis.
How does StudyPug align with Pennsylvania PA Core Standards?
Every lesson is mapped to PA Core Standards for 6th grade math. Our curriculum covers all required topics including ratios, number systems, expressions, geometry, and statistics that appear on the PSSA assessment.
Will StudyPug help prepare my child for the PSSA test?
Yes, our practice problems mirror PSSA question formats. Students work with real-world applications, multi-step problems, and different question types they'll encounter on Pennsylvania's standardized assessment.
How much time should my 6th grader spend on StudyPug?
Most families see results with 20-30 minutes daily. The adaptive practice adjusts to their pace, so they focus on topics that need reinforcement while building mastery through consistent, focused practice sessions.
Can StudyPug help if my child is behind in math?
Absolutely. The diagnostic assessment identifies exact gaps, then creates a personalized path. Students can review earlier concepts like 5th grade skills while working toward 6th grade standards at their own pace.

10,000+ questions adjust to your exact skill level. Never run out of problems that challenge you.
