| Grade 6
The ITBS Form A for mathematics measures the skills and achievement of students in sixth grade.
In this course students explore the world of numbers, algorithms, patterns, shapes, data, and spatial sense. Students engage in activities involving whole numbers, decimals, fractions, percents, integers, rational numbers, number sentences, measurement, estimation, coordinate geometry, making sense of real-world data (collecting, discussing, and making conclusions about data), conceptualizing and converting numbers in various forms, and justifying mathematics solutions by articulating the reasons behind the solutions. Course work includes using manipulatives to represent algebraic concepts. The course emphasizes the need for students to make mathematical connections and to use mathematics principles to communicate, reason, and solve problems.
