Below are the Mastery Learning Targets, or priorities for all students to be successful when they advance to 7th Grade Math. Mastery (M) of these skills means the student has met the grade-level standard and is independently performing on grade level. Mastery takes time to develop and may take the full school year.

• Adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides positive decimal numbers. 

• Plots ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

• Identifies positive, negative and opposite numbers on a number line. 

EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS

• Writes and evaluates algebraic expressions. 

• Creates and solves one-step equations. 

• Creates and solves one-step inequalities. 

GEOMETRY

• Calculates the area of 2-D shapes. 

• Calculates the volume of rectangular prisms. 

STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
