The official wording · 9 outcomes
- 6.N1
- Demonstrate an understanding of place value for numbers: greater than one million; less than one thousandth.
- 6.N2
- Demonstrate an understanding of factors and multiples by: determining multiples and factors of numbers less than 100
- 6.N2
- identifying prime and composite numbers;
- 6.N2
- solving problems involving multiples.
- 6.N3
- Relate improper fractions to mixed numbers.
- 6.N4
- Demonstrate an understanding of percent, (limited to whole numbers) concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
- 6.N5
- Demonstrate an understanding of integers, concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
- 6.N6
- Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication and division of decimals (1-digit whole number multipliers and 1-digit natural number divisors).
- 6.N7
- Explain and apply the order of operations, excluding exponents, with and without technology (limited to whole numbers).
Key ideas
Each place is ten times the place to its right.
Millions sit to the left of thousands; thousandths sit three places right of the decimal point.
A factor divides a number evenly; a multiple is the number times a whole number.
Factors come in pairs that multiply to the number.
A prime number has exactly two factors: one and itself.
Watch out for
- Reading thousandths as thousands.
- Losing track of place-value groups in large numbers.
- Confusing factors with multiples.

Patterns and Relations
Tables, Graphs, and Equality
Relationships in tables of values
I can find and use the rule in a table of values.
Official code: 6.PR1
Patterns with graphs and tables
I can show a pattern with both a table and a graph.
Official code: 6.PR2
Preservation of equality
I can keep an equation balanced when I change both sides.
Official code: 6.PR3
The official wording · 3 outcomes
- 6.PR1
- Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship within tables of values to solve problems.
- 6.PR2
- Represent and describe patterns and relationships using graphs and tables.
- 6.PR3
- Demonstrate and explain the meaning of preservation of equality concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
Key ideas
A table pairs input values with output values by a rule.
The rule lets us predict a missing value.
A table and a graph can show the same pattern.
Points on the graph rise or fall in a steady way for a linear pattern.
The equal sign means both sides have the same value.
Watch out for
- Using only the first pair to guess the rule.
- Adding when the rule multiplies.
- Plotting points in the wrong order.

Key ideas
An angle is formed where two lines or edges meet.
The interior angles of a triangle add to 180°.
Angles appear in corners, openings, and turns everywhere.
The interior angles of a quadrilateral add to 360°.
A right angle is 90°; acute is less; obtuse is more; straight is 180°.
Watch out for
- Thinking only pointed shapes have angles.
- Using 360° for a triangle.
- Confusing an angle with the length of its sides.

Key ideas
A line graph shows how a value changes over time.
The line's slope shows whether values rise or fall.
The right graph depends on the kind of data.
We read the graph to answer a question about the data.
An outcome is one possible result of an experiment.
Watch out for
- Using a line graph for data that is not over time.
- Reading the wrong axis.
- Choosing a graph that hides the data.
