What 6th Grade math looks like, solved step by step

Real 6th Grade problems, one per topic, from ratios & rates to statistics — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

Ratios & Rates

If 9 items cost $13, what is the unit rate (cost per item)? Round to the nearest cent.

  1. The unit rate is the cost of ONE item, so divide the cost by the number of items: $13 ÷ 9.
  2. 13 ÷ 9 = 1.444…, which rounds to 1.44 (the nearest cent).
  3. So the unit rate is $1.44 per item.

Answer: $1.44

Decimals

59.8 ÷ 2.6 = ?

  1. Make the divisor a whole number: multiply both numbers by 10.
  2. 59.8 ÷ 2.6 becomes 598 ÷ 26.
  3. Divide, keeping the decimal point lined up in the quotient.
  4. 59.8 ÷ 2.6 = 23

Statistics

Find the range of: 2, 5, 12, 14, 17

  1. Find the greatest and least numbers: the greatest is 17 and the least is 2.
  2. The range is the difference: 17 − 2 = 15.
  3. So the range is 15.

A sample week of 6th Grade practice

One way to spend five short sessions: the first two new lessons of Ratios & Rates and Fractions, one printable worksheet a day, then a mixed review. For a signed-in child, Today's Math picks each day's problems instead: due reviews first, then the next skill at their working level.

  1. Monday
    Introduction to Ratios 1 · Ratios & Rates · 10 problems

    Starts Ratios & Rates at its first new lesson, Introduction to Ratios.

  2. Tuesday
    Simplify Ratios 1 · Ratios & Rates · 10 problems

    Builds on Introduction to Ratios with the next new lesson, Simplifying Ratios.

  3. Wednesday
    Complex Fractions 1 · Fractions · 10 problems

    Starts Fractions at its first new lesson, Complex Fractions.

  4. Thursday
    Adding Mixed Numbers 1 · Fractions · 10 problems

    Builds on Complex Fractions with the next new lesson, Adding Mixed Numbers.

  5. Friday
    6th Grade Mixed Review · Mixed review

    One sheet drawing problems from across 6th Grade topics, so a week of Ratios & Rates and Fractions ends on mixed recall rather than the last thing practiced.
