Grade 6

6.2.3 Multiply and divide decimals.
6.2.9 Use estimation to decide whether answers are reasonable in decimal problems.
6.6.3 Compare the mean, median, and mode for a set of data and explain which measure is most appropriate in a given context.
6.7.1 Analyze problems by identifying relationships, telling relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns.
6.7.3 Decide when and how to break a problem into simpler parts.
6.7.5 Express solutions clearly and logically by using the appropriate mathematical terms and notation. Support solutions with evidence in both verbal and symbolic work.
6.7.9 Make precise calculations and check the validity of the results in the context of the problem.
6.7.10 Decide whether a solution is reasonable in the context of the original situation.
6.7.11 Note the method of finding the solution and show a conceptual understanding of the method by solving similar problems.

.8.2.1 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers (integers, fractions, and terminating decimals) in multi-step problems.
8.2.3 Use estimation techniques to decide whether answers to computations on a calculator are reasonable.
8.2.4 Use mental arithmetic to compute with common fractions, decimals, powers, and percents.
8.5.1 Convert common measurements for length, area, volume, weight, capacity, and time to equivalent measurements within the same system.
8.6.1 Identify claims based on statistical data and, in simple cases, evaluate the reasonableness of the claims. Design a study to investigate the claim.
