Mathematics | Grade : 6
Domain - The Number System
Cluster - Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.
[6.NS.B.2] - Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
- Fluency
Fluency in the grades 1–6 standards is the ability to carry out calculations and apply numerical algorithms quickly and accurately. Fluency in each grade involves a mixture of knowing some answers from memory (instant recall), knowing some answers from patterns (e.g., “adding 0 yields the same number”), and knowing some answers from the use of other strategies. The development of fluency follows a specific progression in these grades that begins with conceptual understanding and eventually requires students to “know from memory their math facts,” use various strategies to arrive at answers, and develop proficiency using the standard algorithm for each operation. (See standards 1.OA.B.3, 2.OA.B.2, 3.OA.B.5, 3.OA.C.7 and 3.NBT.A.2, 4.NBT.B.4, 5.NBT.B.5, 6.NS.B.2 and 6.NS.B.3.) - Standard algorithm
One of the conventional algorithms used in the United States based on place value and properties of operations for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. (See standards 4.NBT.B.4, 5.NBT.B.5, and 6.NS.B.2). - Standard Algorithms for Multiplication and Division
