Montana sixth-grade math standards

IXL's sixth-grade skills will be aligned to the 2006 Montana Grade Level Learning Expectations soon! Until then, you can view a complete list of sixth-grade standards below. Be sure to check out the unlimited math practice problems in IXL's 241 sixth-grade skills.

6.1 Selects and uses appropriate problem-solving strategies (e.g., estimate, make a table, look for a pattern, simplify the problem) and technologies (e.g., paper and pencil, calculator, computer) in many contexts.
6.2 Communicates organized solutions to problems in a variety of ways (e.g. written, verbal, concrete, pictorial, graphical, algebraic) and provides appropriate support (e.g., reasons, rationales).
6.3 Uses addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, decimals, and fractions to estimate and compute, and to determine whether results are accurate and reasonable.
6.4 Uses basic algebraic concepts and represents relationships in appropriate ways (e.g., number sentence, picture, graph) to solve selected problems.
6.5 Applies geometric relationships (e.g., symmetry, congruence, position) to solve selected problems.
6.6 Performs conversions among basic units within a system of measurement and determines the areas of geometric figures.
6.7 Makes reasonable predictions based on data, basic probability, and statistics (e.g., tables, charts, graphs).
6.8 Uses and analyzes a variety of patterns to describe mathematical and real-world relationships in various ways.
