What to practice this year
Negative numbers are the year's first real reversal. The number line, which has been a ruler since kindergarten, extends to the left, and subtraction stops meaning "take away" and starts meaning "how far apart, in which direction". A child who is fluent with the facts can still stall here, because the difficulty is not arithmetic — it is that 3 − 7 finally has an answer.
Why these skills come next
Ratios, percents, and fractions are one idea wearing three costumes. 3 out of 4, 3 : 4, 3/4, and 75% are the same relationship written for different jobs, and grade six is when a child is expected to move between them without re-deriving each one. Practicing them near each other is what builds that, which is why the ratio and percent sheets sit side by side here.
Nothing matches that. Try a skill, a number, or a topic.
Step 1 of 12
Warm up from grade 5
The two ways of looking inside a number that fraction work keeps asking for.

Area and solids
Past the rectangle: the height that is not a slant side, and a box measured two ways.
Step 7 of 12
What a ratio is for
Comparing two quantities, then getting one of them down to a single unit.
Step 8 of 12
Expressions before equations
Everything you can do to a letter without solving for it.
Step 9 of 12
Signed numbers past adding
Multiplying and dividing have their own sign rule, and it is not the addition one.
