Mathematics | Grade : 6

Domain - The Number System

Cluster - Compute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.

[6.NS.B.3] - Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.

Resources:


  • Decimal number
    Any real number expressed in base ten notation, such as 2.673.
  • 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
  • Ambassador Task: Movie Tickets

Predecessor Standards:

  • 5.NBT.B.5
    Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers. (Include two-digit x four-digit numbers and, three-digit x three-digit numbers) using the standard algorithm.
  • 5.NBT.B.6
    Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
  • 5.NBT.B.7
    Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction and between multiplication and division; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

Successor Standards:

  • 7.NS.A.3
    Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with integers and other rational numbers.

Same Level Standards:

  • 6.NS.B.2
    Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
