Math
6 Topics
|
| Summary
- Students taking Mathematics 6 will refine and extend their understanding
of number theory, arithmetic operations, geometry and measurement,
probability, and statistics fundamental to beginning the study of
algebra. Major elements of the course include work with percents,
proportions, and simple equations and an introduction to integers. |

order of operations, number patterns
- identify
variables, constants, expressions, equations and inequalities
- substitute
values and evaluate expressions
- apply problem-solving
guidelines, solve problems using problem-solving strategies
- equivalent

|
|
Arithmetic Operations
- addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions, decimals,
and integers
- solving equations
with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals
