MATHEMATICS
The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for grades 6 through 8 focus on five strands or central themes: number, operation, and quantitative reasoning; patterns, relations, and algebraic thinking; geometry and spatial reasoning; measurement; and probability and statistics. Problem solving and estimation, language and communication, connections within and outside mathematics, and formal and informal reasoning underlie all content areas in mathematics. Students in grades 6 through 8 will use these processes together with technology, including graphing calculators, and manipulatives to develop conceptual understanding and to solve problems.

Mathematics: Grade 6 focuses on concepts and skills using ratios to describe proportional relationships involving numbers, geometry, measurement, and probability. Additional skills in 6th grade mathematics include operations with decimals and fractions.
