Grade 6 Math Worksheets

Grade 6 is where we really start to do actual algebra. Not only solving for x, but using variables in the form of an expression. The main pre-algebra skill is to understand how to use variables to manipulate equations and expressions. Ratios and proportions really dominate the start of the year; although I have seen many teachers tackle the algebra portion of the curriculum first. Place value within a decimal setting are looked at often. This pivots to help students understand the relationship between a stated as a fraction, decimal, or percentage. Statistics is used heavily at this grade level, but mostly to understand data and the way it way be displayed. The year normally ends off with plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate graph. To enhance your learning environment, we also have 6th Grade Math Posters. Below you will find links to literally hundreds of printable worksheets and lessons for 6th graders.
