In sixth grade, we have quite a few topics to study. Students are familiar with some of them, such as fractions and decimals, but many others are introduced for the first time (e.g. exponents, ratios, percent, integers). The main areas of study in Math Mammoth Grade 6 are:
1. An introduction to several algebraic concepts, such as exponents, expressions, and equations;
2. Rational numbers: fractions, decimals, and percents;
3. Ratios, rates, and problem solving using bar models;
4. Geometry: area, volume, and surface area;
5. Integers and graphing;
6. Statistics: students learn to describe distributions using measures of center and variability.
