6thGrade Math – 2nd Quarter Outline
The following concepts are planned for the second grading period. Some material may take several days,some less than a day. All concepts listed here will be tested at the end of the grading period.

THE NUMBER SYSTEM
6.NS.2 * Fluently divide multi‐digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
6.NS.3 * Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi‐digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS
6.EE.1 Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole‐number exponents.
6.EE.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
a. Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers. For example, express the calculation “Subtract y from 5” as 5 – y.
b. Identify parts of an expression using mathematical terms (sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient); view one or more parts of an expression as a single entity. For example, describe the expression 2 (8 + 7) as a product of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both a single entity and a sum of two terms.
c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real‐world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving wholenumber exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s3 and A = 6 s2 to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
6.EE.3 Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, applythe distributive property to the expression
3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 +3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x)
