Frequently Asked Questions
What new maths do students learn in Grade 6?
The big new ideas are ratios and unit rates, negative numbers and absolute value, and the start of algebra — using letters in expressions and solving one-variable equations. Students also meet basic statistics such as mean, median and range.
Why do ratios matter so much in Grade 6?
Ratios and unit rates are the foundation for Grade 7 proportional relationships and later for slope and linear functions. A shaky start here shows up repeatedly, so it is a good place to make sure understanding is solid.
