Course Description
-
Math 6 is based on the Minnesota Standards for Mathematics in the areas of number and operation, algebra, geometry and measurement and data analysis. Topics include solving equations, factoring - including greatest common factor and least common multiple, positive rational numbers, volume and surface area, calculating perimeter and area, ratios, fractions, decimals, percentages, and probability.
