practiced. Students begin with a general review of the four basic operations.
They are introduced to exponents, geometric formulas, algebraic concepts,
ratios, percentages, and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing signed
numbers. 6th Grade Math students work extensively with fractions, mixed
numbers, decimals, and estimating. Problem solving strategies are also an
integral part of the curriculum.
