South Dakota Grade 6 Math Standards
The official South Dakota Grade 6 math standards, grouped by domain with the exact code and description for each expectation.
6.RP Β· Ratios & Proportional Relationships
- 6.RP.1Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities
- 6.RP.2Understand the concept of a unit ratea/bassociated with a ratioa:bwithbnot equal to 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship
- 6.RP.3Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations
6.NS Β· The Number System
- 6.NS.1Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem
- 6.NS.2Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using an algorithm including but not limited to the standard algorithm
- 6.NS.3Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using an algorithm including but not limited to the standard algorithm for each operation
- 6.NS.4Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1-100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor
- 6.NS.5Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together 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 positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation
- 6.NS.6Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates
- 6.NS.7Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers
- 6.NS.8Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate
6.EE Β· Expressions & Equations
- 6.EE.1Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents (e.g., parentheses, brackets, or braces)
- 6.EE.2Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers
- 6.EE.3Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions with an emphasis on the distributive property
- 6.EE.4Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them)
- 6.EE.5Understand solving an equation or inequality is a process in which you determine values from a set that make an equation or inequality true. Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true
- 6.EE.6Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set
- 6.EE.7Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the formx+p=qandpx=qfor cases in whichp,qandxare all nonnegative rational numbers
- 6.EE.8Write an inequality of the formx>c,xβ₯c,x<corxβ€cwhich represents a condition or constraint in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of inequalities on number line diagrams
- 6.EE.9Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation
6.G Β· Geometry
- 6.G.1Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems
- 6.G.2Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V =lwhand V = Bhwhere B is the area of the base to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems
- 6.G.3Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems
- 6.G.4Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems
6.SP Β· Statistics & Probability
- 6.SP.1Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers
- 6.SP.2Understand that 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.SP.3Recognize that a measure of center (mean and/or median) for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation (such as mean absolute deviation and/or range) summarizes data points' distances from the mean or each other
- 6.SP.4Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots
- 6.SP.5Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
