Computation and Estimation

Objectives:

6.6a The student will solve problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division with fractions and mixed numbers, with and without regrouping, that include like and unlike denominators of 12 or less, and express their answers in simplest form; and
6.6b The student will find the quotient, given a dividend expressed as a decimal through thousandths and a divisor expressed as a decimal to thousandths with exactly one non-zero digit.
6.7 The student will use estimation strategies to solve multistep practical problems involving whole numbers, decimals, and fractions (rational numbers).
6.8 The student will solve multistep consumer-application problems involving fractions and decimals and present data and conclusions in paragraphs, tables, or graphs. Planning a budget will be included.

Geometry

Objectives:

6.14 The student will identify, classify, and describe the characteristics of plane figures, describing their similarities, differences, and defining properties.
6.15 The student will determine congruence of segments, angles, and polygons by direct comparison, given their attributes. Examples of noncongruent and congruent figures will be included.
6.16 The student will construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment and an angle bisector.
6.17 The student will sketch, construct models of, and classify solid figures (rectangular prism, cone, cylinder, and pyramid).

Measurement

Objectives:

6.9a The student will compare and convert units of measure for length, area, weight/mass, and volume within the U.S. Customary system and the metric system and estimate conversions between units in each system: length - part of an inch (1/2, 1/4, and 1/8), inches, feet, yards, miles, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers;
6.9b The student will compare and convert units of measure for length, area, weight/mass, and volume within the U.S. Customary system and the metric system and estimate conversions between units in each system: weight/mass - ounces, pounds, tons, grams, and kilograms;
6.9c The student will compare and convert units of measure for length, area, weight/mass, and volume within the U.S. Customary system and the metric system and estimate conversions between units in each system: liquid volume - cups, pints, quarts, gallons, milliliters, and liters; and
6.9d The student will compare and convert units of measure for length, area, weight/mass, and volume within the U.S. Customary system and the metric system and estimate conversions between units in each system: area - square units.
6.10 The student will estimate and then determine length, weight/mass, area, and liquid volume/capacity, using standard and nonstandard units of measure.
6.11 The student will determine if a problem situation involving polygons of four or fewer sides represents the application of perimeter or area and apply the appropriate formula.
6.12a The student will solve problems involving the circumference and/or area of a circle when given the diameter or radius
6.12b The student will derive approximations for pi (π) from measurements for circumference and diameter, using concrete materials or computer models.
6.13a The student will estimate angle measures, using 45°, 90°, and 180° as referents, and use the appropriate tools to measure the given angles
6.13b The student will measure and draw right, acute, and obtuse angles and triangles.

Number and Number Sense

Objectives:

Patterns, Functions, and Algebra

Objectives:

6.21 The student will investigate, describe, and extend numerical and geometric patterns, including triangular numbers, patterns formed by powers of 10, and arithmetic sequences.
6.22 The student will investigate and describe concepts of positive exponents, perfect squares, square roots, and, for numbers greater than 10, scientific notation. Calculators will be used to develop exponential patterns.
6.23a The student will model and solve algebraic equations, using concrete materials
6.23b The student will solve one-step linear equations in one variable, involving whole number coefficients and positive rational solutions
6.23c The student will use the following algebraic terms appropriately: variable, coefficient, term, and equation.

Probability and Statistics

Objectives:

6.18a The student, given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data in a variety of graphical methods, including line, bar, and circle graphs
6.18b The student, given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data in a variety of graphical methods, including stem-and-leaf plots
6.18c The student, given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data in a variety of graphical methods, including box-and-whisker plots.
6.19 The student will describe the mean, median, and mode as measures of central tendency, describe the range, and determine their meaning for a set of data.
6.20a The student will make a sample space for selected experiments and represent it in the form of a list, chart, picture, or tree diagram
6.20b The student will determine and interpret the probability of an event occurring from a given sample space and represent the probability as a ratio, decimal or percent, as appropriate for the given situation.
