MGSE6.RP: : Ratios and Proportional Relationships

MGSE6.RP.1: : Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.

MGSE6.RP.2: : Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0 (b not equal to zero), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.

MGSE6.RP.3b: : Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed.

MGSE6.RP.3c: : Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100 (e.g. 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity); given a percent, solve problems involving finding the whole given a part and the part given the whole.

MGSE6.RP.3d: : Given a conversion factor, use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units within one system of measurement and between two systems of measurements (customary and metric); manipulate and transform units appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

MGSE6.NS: : The Number System

MGSE6.NS.1: : Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, including reasoning strategies such as using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

MGSE6.NS.3: : Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.

MGSE6.NS.4: : Find the common multiples of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12 and the common factors of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100.

MGSE6.NS.4a: : Find the greatest common factor of 2 whole numbers and use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factors. (GCF)

MGSE6.NS.4b: : Apply the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12 to solve real-world problems.

MGSE6.NS.5: : Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, debits/credits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.

MGSE6.NS.6a: : Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., –(–3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.

MGSE6.NS.6b: : Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.

MGSE6.NS.6c: : Find and position integers and other rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram; find and position pairs of integers and other rational numbers on a coordinate plane.

MGSE6.NS.7a: : Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.

MGSE6.NS.7c: : Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation.

MGSE6.NS.7d: : Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order.

MGSE6.NS.8: : Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.

MGSE6.EE: : Expressions and Equations

MGSE6.EE.1: : Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.

MGSE6.EE.2a: : Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers.

MGSE6.EE.2b: : Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity.

MGSE6.EE.2c: : Evaluate expressions at specific values for their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).

MGSE6.EE.3: : Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

MGSE6.EE.4: : Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them).

MGSE6.EE.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? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.

MGSE6.EE.6: : Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.

MGSE6.EE.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.

MGSE6.EE.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. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

MGSE6.G: : Geometry

MGSE6.G.1: : Find area of right triangles, other triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

MGSE6.G.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 (1/2 u), and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = (length) x (width) x (height) and V= (area of base) x (height) to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

MGSE6.G.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. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

MGSE6.SP: : Statistics and Probability

MGSE6.SP.1: : Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers.

MGSE6.SP.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.

MGSE6.SP.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.

MGSE6.SP.4: : Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots (line plots), histograms, and box plots.

MGSE6.SP.5b: : Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.

MGSE6.SP.5c: : Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range).

MGSE6.SP.5d: : Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data was gathered
