  1. area
    the extent of a two-dimensional surface within a boundary
    In Grade 6, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers; (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; and (4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.

  9. quantity
    how much there is or how many there are of something
    Students use reasoning about multiplication and division to solve ratio and rate problems about quantities.
  10. divide
    a serious disagreement between two groups of people
    Students use the meaning of fractions, the meanings of multiplication and division, and the relationship between multiplication and division to understand and explain why the procedures for dividing fractions make sense.
  11. integer
    any natural number or its negative, or zero
    Students extend their previous understandings of number and the ordering of numbers to the full system of rational numbers, which includes negative rational numbers, and in particular negative integers.
  12. volume
    the property of something that is great in magnitude
    Students in Grade 6 also build on their work with area in elementary school by reasoning about relationships among shapes to determine area, surface area, and volume.
  13. quadrilateral
    a four-sided polygon
    They find areas of right triangles, other triangles, and special quadrilaterals by decomposing these shapes, rearranging or removing pieces, and relating the shapes to rectangles.
  14. parallelogram
    a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are parallel and equal
    Using these methods, students discuss, develop, and justify formulas for areas of triangles and parallelograms.
  15. polygon
    a closed plane figure bounded by straight sides
    Students find areas of polygons and surface areas of prisms and pyramids by decomposing them into pieces whose area they can determine.
  16. prism
    a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel faces
    Students find areas of polygons and surface areas of prisms and pyramids by decomposing them into pieces whose area they can determine.
  17. factor
    anything that contributes causally to a result
    Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor sum, term, product, factor, quotient, coefficient
