"I Can" Statements For Math Grade 6

Standard Description 1. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the birdhouse at the zoo was 2:1, because, for every 2 wings, there was 1 beak.” "For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes."

Introduction to the Common Core State Standards

Satisfied Mother and her Daughter sitting together are looking at a laptop

The Common Core State Standards are an excellent resource for parents and educators alike. They provide a clear outline of what skills and knowledge children should acquire at each grade level, making it easier to support their learning. By following these standards, students can also be better prepared for college, entry-level professions, and vocational training programs after graduation. It's reassuring to know there's a clear path to success for our children.

ELC courses cover 100% of skills defined in Common Core Math Standards for 6th grade. In addition to CCSS skills, our 6th grade course covers essential pre-requisites skills from previous grades for review and more advanced skills for students who want to get ahead.

The standards do not prescribe the specific curriculum or methods of teaching. Instead, they provide a framework of skills and knowledge that student should acquire in order to be successful. The curriculum and teaching method are decided by the teachers and our experienced teachers have designed the course hierarchy to ensure that children learn the skills in proper sequence.

It is difficult to decipher the standards and we have done the work to make sure that a parent or teacher can easily understand the standard. We provide easy-to understand infographics outlining skills your child should know for each grade. You can download the infographics to understand what skills your child should know for the grade from our course page.
