Standards

For our next unit of the year, we will focus on the following targets:

  • 6.SP.1:  I can write questions with statistical responses.

  • 6.SP.2: I can describe the center, spread, and shape of statistical responses.

  • 6.SP.3:  I can find and describe measures of center, as well as the interquartile range and absolute mean deviation for a set of data.
  •  6.SP.4:  I can graph data using a dot plot, a histogram, or a box plot.

     6.SP.5:  I can summarize a data set as well as its deviations and relate it to the context.

Previous Targets:

  • 6.NS.4:  I can find the greatest common factor & least common multiple of a set of numbers.
  • 6.NS.5:  I understand and can represent positive and negative numbers.

  • 6.NS.6: I can plot points on a coordinate grid.

  • 6.NS.7: I can compare positives, negatives, and absolute values.
  • 6.EE.1:  I can find the value of expressions with exponents.
  • 6.NS.8: I can find vertical and horizontal distances on a coordinate grid.
  • 6.F.1:  I can read, write, model, and convert fractions, decimals & percents.

  • 6.F.2: I can compare decimals, percents & fractions.

  • 6.F.3:  I can add & subtract fractions.

  • 6.F.4: I can multiply fractions.
