6th Grade Math Curriculum
The personalized 6th grade MathBuilder program from gt.school is designed to help your child lay the foundation for future success in math.
This program will focus on the concepts that your 6th grader may struggle with most, including problem solving and reasoning skills, with an emphasis on understanding and mastering concepts rather than just memorizing facts. This will help them develop their critical thinking skills and prepare them for their 7th grade math class by helping them make sense of unfamiliar problems and finding patterns in numbers. Your child will then be able to apply their newfound mastery to solving real-world problems as they gain confidence in their abilities.
As a result, they will be on the path toward achieving these objectives:
Understanding pre-algebra concepts such as variables
Proper order of decimals on the number line
How to use and identify proper intervals through frequency tables
Using ratios and fractions to compare different points of data
Understand how to plot points on a graph through ordered pairs
Know the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents
Comparison of Math Programs for 6th Grade
While there is nothing wrong with a traditional method of textbooks and workbooks, you can’t ignore the issues:
- Textbooks are expensive and time-consuming
- Online courses don’t provide enough structure
- Without knowing a child's knowledge gaps, any issues that come up cannot address the root cause.
- This isn’t the teacher’s fault. So long as a grade is good, or even decent, many may not feel there is a problem. As a result, your child might become unmotivated, disinterested, or even anxious when it comes to their schoolwork.
- That’s why we have created a way to fill the gaps by creating a fun and engaging program that builds on the knowledge they already have.
Why Choose gt.school For Your Child’s Math Success
This program is for you and your child if your child doesn’t have the best relationship with math or you suspect they aren’t mastering all of the concepts completely. The best way to improve is to know what gaps occurred in their learning and address them specifically. This is true even if they want to get ahead and prepare for their 7th grade online math classes.
gt.school offers a comprehensive math assessment and math program that gives students the opportunity to make connections with other areas of mathematics, furthers their interest in the subject, and develops their problem-solving skills that will last a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 6th grade math important?
6th grade is when students typically begin moving away from the foundations of arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and into more complex math, like algebra, geometry, and statistics. The skills they learn here can affect their skills in later grades.
Why do students learn geometry and data analysis in 6th grade?
These subjects show students how to connect math to the world around them. This has been shown to help in problem solving and rational thinking skills.
What is important for 6th grade math?
It is important for students in 6th grade to understand concepts related to algebra, geometry, measurement, probability, functions, and spatial sense. gt.school’s MathBuilder program can help address gaps in their knowledge relating to any of these.
What do 6th graders struggle with in math?
We have found that each child is unique with what they may struggle with when it comes to their math classes. Some may struggle with word problems. Others with ratios, decimals, or fractions. Their struggles are as individualized as they are. It’s why we don’t offer a cookie-cutter solution to what they may be struggling with.
How to succeed in 6th grade math?
Because each child’s strengths and weaknesses are as unique and individualized as they are, their level of success will look different from others. For some, it may just be gaining a better understanding of certain concepts. For others, it may be rebuilding their confidence to succeed in other areas. Either way, we are here to help.
