NOS: Number and Operation Sense

6.NOS.A: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by Fractions.

6.NOS.A.1: Divide fractions by fractions in context.

6.NOS.B: Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.

6.NOS.B.2: Fluently divide multi-digit numbers.

6.NOS.B.3: Fluently multiply and divide multi-digit decimals to the thousandths in context.

6.NOS.B.4: Identify the common factors and multiples of two whole numbers.

6.NOS.C: Apply and extend previous understanding of numbers to the system of rational numbers.

6.NOS.C.5: Use previous understanding of rational numbers as positive and negative numbers to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge). Use rational numbers to represent quantities in context and explain the meaning of 0 in each situation.

6.NOS.C.6: Represent a rational number as a point on vertical or horizontal number lines. Represent points on a number line with negative numbers.

6.NOS.C.7: Intersect perpendicular number lines at the point (0,0) as the x-axis and y-axis to introduce the four quadrants of the Coordinate Plane. Represent points on the plane with positive and negative coordinates.

6.NOS.C.8: Order and identify the absolute value of rational numbers.

AT: Algebraic Thinking

6.AT.A: Understanding ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve.

6.AT.A.1: Use ratio language in context (e.g., __ to __, for every, per) to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities, including part to part and part to whole (e.g., The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.).

6.AT.A.2: Represent and use unit rates, written as fractions (𝑎/𝑏, 𝑏 ≠ 0) with whole number numerators and denominators, in context.

6.AT.A.3: Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve problems in context by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number lines, or the Coordinate Plane.

6.AT.A.4: Find a percent of a quantity in context as a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means 30/100 times the quantity), including finding the whole given a part and the percent, by using tables, tape diagrams, and double number lines.

6.AT.B: Apply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions.

6.AT.B.5: Write numerical expressions involving whole number exponents and positive rational number bases. Use technology to evaluate numerical expressions involving whole number exponents and positive rational number bases.

6.AT.B.6: Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.

6.AT.B.7: Apply the properties of operations (e.g., distributive, associative, commutative, etc.) to generate equivalent algebraic expressions and to identify when two expressions are equivalent (e.g., apply the distributive property to the expression 3(2 + 𝑥) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3𝑥; apply the distributive property to the expression 24𝑥 + 18𝑦 to produce the equivalent expression 6(4𝑥 + 3𝑦); apply properties of operations to 𝑦 + 𝑦 + 𝑦 to produce the equivalent expression 3𝑦.

6.AT.C: Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.

6.AT.C.8: Solve problems in context by writing and solving equations and interpreting the solutions in context.

6.AT.C.9: Write an inequality of the form 𝑥 > 𝑐 (using ≥, >, ≤, <) represent a constraint or condition in context. Recognize that inequalities of this form have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number lines.

6.AT.C.10: Solve problems in context by writing and solving inequalities and interpreting solution sets in context.

6.AT.D: Represent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables.

6.AT.D.11: Use variables to represent two quantities in context that change in relationship to one another.

GR: Geometric Reasoning and Measurement

6.GR.A: Solve problems in context involving area, surface area, and volume.

6.GR.A.1: Find the area of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and quadrilaterals to solve problems.

6.GR.A.3: Draw polygons in the Coordinate Plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining endpoints with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in context.

6.GR.A.4: Represent three-dimensional figures (triangular prism, rectangular prism, pyramid) using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures to solve problems.

DS: Reasoning with Data and Statistics

6.DS.A: Extend understanding of statistical variability.

6.DS.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 (e.g., How old am I? is not a statistical question, but How old are the students in my school? is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages).

6.DS.A.2: Use the language of probability (e.g., likely, unlikely, certain, impossible) to describe the likelihood of possible outcomes and to anticipate variability in data collected from statistical questions. Explain how the likelihood of outcomes helps predict which responses may be more or less common in the data and justify predictions using probability terms.

6.DS.A.3: Explain how 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.DS.A.4: Recognize that a measure of center (median and/or mean) for a numerical data set summarizes all the values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.

6.DS.B: Summarize and describe distributions.

6.DS.B.5: Interpret numerical data in plots on a number line, including line plots, histograms, and box plots.

6.DS.B.6: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context.
