Handbook Learning Route
Grade 6 should make students algebra-ready. Ratios, unit rates, percentages, negative numbers, expressions, equations, statistics, and surface area all require students to reason about relationships, not just compute answers.

Ratios, unit rates, and percentages make comparison and scaling concrete.
Variables, expressions, equations, negative numbers, and quadrants connect symbols to meaning.
Decimal division, GCF/LCM, statistics, circle area, and surface area reinforce multi-step reasoning.
Use radius, diameter, circumference, and area relationships to understand why the area of a circle is pi times radius squared.
Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm.
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q.
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers β€ 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers β€ 12.
Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values.
Find a percent of a quantity as a rate per 100; solve problems involving finding the whole, given a part and the percent.
