6th Grade Curriculum
District adopted Common Core Curriculum
Grade 6 OverviewRatios and Proportional RelationshipsOUnderstand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.The Number SystemOApply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.OCompute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.OApply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.Expressions and EquationsOApply and extend previous understandings of arithmetic to algebraic expressions. OReason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.ORepresent and analyze quantitative relationships between dependent and independent variables.GeometryOSolve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume.Statistics and ProbabilityODevelop understanding of statistical variability.OSummarize and describe distributions.
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
Two Types of Standards•Eight Mathematical Practices
•Mathematical Content Standards
Common Core Mathematics Practice
Standards1. Make sense of problems and persevere
in solving them.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.3. Construct viable arguments and
critique the reasoning of others.4. Model with mathematics5. Use appropriate tools strategically.6. Attend to precision.7. Look for and make use of structure.8. Look for and express regularity in
repeated reasoning
Smarter Balanced Assessment Claim #1 – Concepts & Procedures “Students can explain and apply mathematical concepts and
interpret and carry out mathematical procedures with precision and fluency.”
Claim #2 – Problem Solving “Students can solve a range of complex well-posed problems
in pure and applied mathematics, making productive use of knowledge and problem solving strategies.”
Claim #3 – Communicating Reasoning “Students can clearly and precisely construct viable
arguments to support their own reasoning and to critique the reasoning of others.”
Claim #4 – Modeling and Data Analysis “Students can analyze complex, real-world scenarios and can
construct and use mathematical models to interpret and solve problems.”
CST vs. Smarter BalancedStandard 5NS2.4
Understand the concept of multiplication and division of
fractions.
Standard 5.NF.7 Apply and extend previous
understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.1

Grading Categories
OClasswork/Homework
/Project -- 60%
OTests/Quizzes - 40%
HomeworkO Expectations:
O Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday. It will be posted on the My Big Campus calendar.
O PoliciesO Homework is worth 6 pointsO Must be complete and turned in on timeO Homework is due the day a student returns from
an absence, and students are expected to complete homework assigned when absent
O Please encourage your child to turn in homework on time to teach him/her the responsibility of meeting deadlines.
LOGOO We will use computers in class on a
regular basis, and students will be using the LOGO computers to work on individual and group projects
