Mathematics
By the end of sixth grade, students have mastered the four arithmetic operations with positive and negative numbers, whole numbers, fractions and decimals; they accurately compute and solve problems. They apply their knowledge to statistics and probability. Students understand the concept of and how to calculate the range, mean, median and mode of data sets. They analyze data and sampling processes for possible bias and misleading conclusions, and they use addition and multiplication of fractions routinely to calculate probabilities for compound events. Students conceptually understand and work with ratios and proportions; they compute percentages (e.g., tax, tips, interest). Students know about π and the formulas for the circumference and area of a circle. They use letters for numbers in formulas involving geometric shapes and in representing an unknown part of a ratio. They solve 1-step linear equations.
