6.RP.1 Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
6.RP.2 Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
6.RP.3 Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
6.EE.5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.
6.EE.9 Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable.

Display, interpret, and summarize numerical data
Initial Assessment –
Form A pre-test
6.SP.1 Recognize a statistical question as one
that anticipates variability in the data related to
the question and accounts for it in the answers.
6.SP.2 Understand that a set of data collected to
answer a statistical question has a distribution
which can be described by its center, spread, and
overall shape.
6.SP.3 Recognize that a measure of center for a
numerical data set summarizes all of its values
with a single number, while a measure of
variation describes how its values vary with a
single number.
6.SP.4 Display numerical data in plots on a
number line, including dot plots, histograms, and
box plots.
6.SP.5 Summarize numerical data sets in relation
to their context.
