Grade 6 - Number
Standard 6.N.1 - Solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division word problems with decimals.
Included Skills: Decimals, Mixed Equations
Demonstrate understanding of place value including: • greater than one million • less than one thousandth with and without technology. • Explain, concretely, pictorially, or orally, how numbers larger than one million found in mass media and other contexts are related to one million by referencing place value and/or extending concrete or pictorial representations. • Change the representation of numbers larger than one million given in decimal and word form to place value form (e.g., $1.8 billion would be changed to $1 800 000 000) and vice versa. • Explain, concretely, pictorially, or orally, how numbers smaller than one thousandth found in mass media and other contexts are related to one thousandth by referencing place value and/or extending concrete or pictorial representations. • Explain how the pattern of the place value system (e.g., the repetition of ones, tens, and hundreds), makes it possible to read and write numerals for numbers of any magnitude. • Solve situational questions involving operations on quantities larger than one million or smaller than one thousandth (with the use of technology). • Estimate the solution to a situational question, without the use of technology, involving operations on quantities larger than one million or smaller than one thousandth and explain the strategies used to determine the estimate.
