Domain: Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
6.RP.A.1 Understand the concept of a ratio Lessons 4.1, 4.2
and use ratio language to describe
a ratio relationship between two
quantities. For example, “The ratio
of wings to beaks in the bird house
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.”

6.RP.A.2 Understand the concept of a unit Lessons 4.2, 4.6

rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b
with b & 0, and use rate language in
the context of a ratio relationship.
For example, “This recipe has a ratio
of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar,
so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each
cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for
15 hamburgers, which is a rate of
$5 per hamburger.”

Domain: Ratios and Proportional Relationships (Continued)
6.RP.A.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to
solve real-world and mathematical
problems, e.g., by reasoning about
tables of equivalent ratios, tape
diagrams, double number line
diagrams, or equations.
a. Make tables of equivalent ratios Lessons 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.8
relating quantities with whole-
number measurements, find
missing values in the tables, and
plot the pairs of values on the
coordinate plane. Use tables to
compare ratios.
b. Solve unit rate problems including Lessons 4.6, 4.7
those involving unit pricing and
constant speed. For example, if it
took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then
at that rate, how many lawns could
be mowed in 35 hours? At what
rate were lawns being mowed?
c. Find a percent of a quantity as Lessons 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6
a rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a
quantity means 30/100 times the
quantity); solve problems involving
finding the whole, given a part and
the percent.
d. Use ratio reasoning to convert Lessons 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5
measurement units; manipulate
and transform units appropriately
when multiplying or dividing
quantities.

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplications and division to divide
fractions by fractions.
6.NS.A.1 Interpret and compute quotients of Lessons 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10
fractions, and solve word problems
involving division of fractions by
fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction
models and equations to represent
the problem. For example, create
a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and
use a visual fraction model to show
the quotient; use the relationship
between multiplication and division
to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9
because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general,
(a/b) ÷ (c/d) = ad/bc.) How much
chocolate will each person get if
3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate
equally? How many 3/4-cup servings
are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How
wide is a rectangular strip of land
with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2
square mi?
Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.
6.NS.B.2 Fluently divide multi-digit numbers Lesson 1.1
using the standard algorithm.
6.NS.B.3 Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and Lessons 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9
divide multi-digit decimals using
the standard algorithm for each
operation.
6.NS.B.4 Find the greatest common factor Lessons 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2.3, 2.4
of two whole numbers less than or
equal to 100 and the least common
multiple of two whole numbers
less than or equal to 12. Use the
distributive property to express a sum
of two whole numbers 1–100 with

a common factor as a multiple of a

sum of two whole numbers with no
common factor. For example, express
36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).

Apply and extend previous understandings of numbers to the system of rational numbers.
6.NS.C.5 Understand that positive and Lesson 3.1, 3.3
negative numbers are used together
to describe quantities having opposite
directions or values (e.g., temperature
above/below zero, elevation above/
below sea level, credits/ debits,
positive/negative electric charge);
use positive and negative numbers
to represent quantities in real-world
contexts, explaining the meaning of 0
in each situation.
6.NS.C.6 Understand a rational number as a
point on the number line. Extend
number line diagrams and coordinate
axes familiar from previous grades
to represent points on the line and
in the plane with negative number
coordinates.
a. Recognize opposite signs of Lessons 3.1, 3.3
numbers as indicating locations on
opposite sides of 0 on the number
line; recognize that the opposite
of the opposite of a number is the
number itself, e.g., −(–3) = 3, and
that 0 is its own opposite.
b. Understand signs of numbers in Lesson 3.8
ordered pairs as indicating locations
in quadrants of the coordinate
plane; recognize that when two
ordered pairs differ only by signs, the
locations of the points are related by
reflections across one or both axes.
c. Find and position integers and Lessons 2.1, 3.1, 3.3, 3.7
other rational numbers on a
horizontal or vertical number line
diagram; find and position pairs of
integers and other rational numbers

6.NS.C.7 Understand ordering and absolute
value of rational numbers.
a. Interpret statements of inequality Lessons 2.2, 3.2, 3.4
as statements about the relative
position of two numbers on a
number line diagram. For example,
interpret –3 > –7 as a statement
that –3 is located to the right of
–7 on a number line oriented from
left to right.
b. Write, interpret, and explain Lessons 3.2, 3.4
statements of order for rational
numbers in real-world contexts.
For example, write –3°C > –7°C
to express the fact that –3°C is
warmer than –7°C.
c. Understand the absolute value of a Lesson 3.5
rational number as its distance from
0 on the number line; interpret
absolute value as magnitude for a
positive or negative quantity in a
real-world situation. For example,
for an account balance of –30
dollars, write | –30| = 30 to describe
the size of the debt in dollars.
d. Distinguish comparisons of Lesson 3.6
absolute value from statements
about order. For example,
recognize that an account balance
less than –30 dollars represents a
debt greater than 30 dollars.
6.NS.C.8 Solve real-world and mathematical Lessons 3.9, 3.10
problems by graphing points in all
four quadrants of the coordinate
plane. Include use of coordinates
and absolute value to find distances

6.EE.A.1 Write and evaluate numerical Lessons 7.1, 7.2
expressions involving whole-number
exponents.
6.EE.A.2 Write, read, and evaluate expressions
in which letters stand for numbers.
a. Write expressions that record Lesson 7.3
operations with numbers and with
letters standing for numbers. For
example, express the calculation
“Subtract y from 5” as 5 − y.
b. Identify parts of an expression Lesson 7.4
using mathematical terms (sum,
term, product, factor, quotient,
coefficient); view one or more
parts of an expression as a single
entity. For example, describe the
expression 2(8 + 7) as a product
of two factors; view (8 + 7) as both
a single entity and a sum of two
terms.
c. Evaluate expressions at specific Lessons 7.5, 10.1, 10.5, 10.6,
values of their variables. Include 10.7, 11.3, 11.4, 11.6
expressions that arise from
formulas used in real-world
problems. Perform arithmetic
operations, including those
involving whole-number exponents,
in the conventional order when
there are no parentheses to
specify a particular order (Order of
Operations). For example, use the
formulas V = s³ and A = 6s² to find
the volume and surface area of a
cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
6.EE.A.3 Apply the properties of operations Lessons 7.7, 7.8

to generate equivalent expressions.

For example, apply the distributive
property to the expression 3(2 + x)
to produce the equivalent expression
6 + 3x; apply the distributive property
to the expression 24x + 18y to
produce the equivalent expression
6(4x + 3y ); apply properties of
operations to y + y + y to produce the
equivalent expression 3y.

are equivalent (i.e., when the
two expressions name the same
number regardless of which value is
substituted into them). For example,
the expressions y + y + y and 3y are
equivalent because they name the
same number regardless of which
number y stands for.
Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.

6.EE.B.5 Understand solving an equation or Lessons 8.1, 8.8

inequality as a process of answering
a question: which values from
a specified set, if any, make the
equation or inequality true? Use
substitution to determine whether a
given number in a specified set makes
an equation or inequality true.
6.EE.B.6 Use variables to represent numbers Lesson 7.6
and write expressions when solving a
real-world or mathematical problem;
understand that a variable can
represent an unknown number, or,
depending on the purpose at hand,
any number in a specified set.

quantities in a real-world problem
that change in relationship to one
another; write an equation to express
one quantity, thought of as the
dependent variable, in terms of the
other quantity, thought of as the
independent variable. Analyze the
relationship between the dependent
and independent variables using
graphs and tables, and relate these
to the equation. For example, in a
problem involving motion at constant
speed, list and graph ordered pairs
of distances and times, and write the
equation d = 65t to represent the
relationship between distance and
time.

6.SP.A.1 Recognize a statistical question as Lesson 12.1

one that anticipates variability in
the data related to the question and
accounts for it in the answers. For
example, “How old am I?” is not a
statistical question, but “How old
are the students in my school?” is
a statistical question because one
anticipates variability in students’
ages.
