Grade 6 Mathematics

Core Concept Reference & Summary Notes

Unit 1: Number Sense and Operations

1. Place Value and Decimals


• Grade 6 extends understanding of decimals to the thousandths place and beyond.
• When multiplying decimals, multiply as with whole numbers, then count the total decimal places in the
factors to place the decimal point in the product.
• When dividing decimals, move the decimal point in the divisor to make it a whole number, and move the
decimal point in the dividend the same number of places.

2. Fractions and Mixed Numbers


• Dividing Fractions: To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal (invert the second fraction and
multiply).

a/b ÷ c/d = a/b × d/c = (ad)/(bc)

Unit 2: Ratios, Rates, and Percentages

1. Ratios and Rates


• A Ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division (e.g., 3:2 or 3/2).

• A Unit Rate compares a quantity to one unit of another quantity (e.g., 60 miles per 1 hour).

2. Understanding Percentages
• A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. "Percent" means per hundred.
• To find the percent of a number, convert the percent to a decimal or fraction and multiply.

Part = (Percent / 100) × Whole

Unit 3: Expressions and Equations

1. Order of Operations

Evaluate numerical expressions using the standard order of operations:

1. Parentheses and grouping symbols


2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

2. Algebraic Expressions and One-Step Equations
• Variables are letters used to represent unknown numbers (e.g., x, y).

• To solve a one-step equation, isolate the variable using the inverse (opposite) operation.

Equation Type Example Inverse Operation Required Solution

Addition x + 5 = 12 Subtract 5 from both sides x=7

Subtraction y-3=9 Add 3 to both sides y = 12

Multiplication 4g = 20 Divide both sides by 4 g=5

Division z/2=6 Multiply both sides by 2 z = 12

Unit 4: Geometry and Measurement

1. Perimeter, Area, and Volume

Key geometric formulas utilized in Grade 6:


• Area of a Rectangle: Area = length × width

• Area of a Triangle: Area = ½ × base × height

• Volume of a Rectangular Prism: Volume = length × width × height

Unit 5: Statistics and Probability

1. Measures of Center and Variability


• Mean (Average): The sum of the data values divided by the total number of values.
• Median: The middle value when data is ordered from least to greatest.
• Mode: The value that appears most frequently in a data set.
• Range: The difference between the highest and lowest values (measures variability).
