6th grade math worksheets
Sixth grade is the bridge to algebra. Students divide fractions by fractions, become fluent with multi-digit division and decimals, and meet negative numbers on the number line.
Expressions and one-step equations appear, along with whole-number exponents, percents of a quantity, and the greatest common factor and least common multiple used to simplify and compare.
What 6th grade students practice here
- Dividing fractions
- Integers
- One-step equations
- Exponents, percents, GCF and LCM
Every worksheet generates new problems each time, prints with an answer key on page 2, and can also be done online with instant checking. Teachers can send several of them as one online assignment, with no sign-up.
Division
All division worksheets- Long division with 2-digit divisors
Dividing by a two-digit number requires estimating each quotient digit, for example by rounding 47 to 50.
Grade 5 – Grade 6
Fractions
All fractions worksheets- Simplifying fractions worksheets
Each fraction can be reduced, and the answer key gives it in lowest terms.
Grade 4 – Grade 6 - Multiplying fractions worksheets
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, then simplify.
Grade 5 – Grade 6 - Dividing fractions worksheets
To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal ("keep, change, flip").
Grade 6
Decimals
All decimals worksheets- Multiplying decimals worksheets
Multiply as if there were no decimal points, then count the decimal places in both factors to place the point in the answer.
Grade 5 – Grade 6 - Dividing decimals by whole numbers
Each problem divides a number with one decimal place by a whole number from 2 to 9, and every division comes out exactly.
Grade 5 – Grade 6
Number sense
All number sense worksheets- Greatest common factor (GCF)
The greatest common factor is the largest number that divides both numbers exactly.
Grade 5 – Grade 6 - Least common multiple (LCM)
The least common multiple is the smallest number that both numbers divide into exactly.
Grade 5 – Grade 6
Pre-algebra
All pre-algebra worksheets- Adding and subtracting integers
Negative numbers are written in parentheses when they follow an operation sign, for example 5 − (−8).
Grade 6 – Grade 7 - Order of operations worksheets
Each expression has three numbers and two operations.
Grade 5 – Grade 6 - Order of operations with parentheses
Expressions mix problems with and without parentheses so students learn when brackets change the answer, for example (3 + 4) × 2 versus 3 + 4 × 2..
Grade 5 – Grade 6 - Exponents worksheets
An exponent tells how many times the base is multiplied by itself: 4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64.
Grade 5 – Grade 6 - Percent of a number worksheets
Percentages are chosen so that answers are whole numbers, which keeps the focus on the method: 10% is one tenth, 25% is one quarter, 50% is one half..
Grade 6 – Grade 7 - One-step equations: addition and subtraction
Each equation needs one inverse operation: subtract to undo an addition, add to undo a subtraction.
Grade 6 - One-step equations: multiplication and division
Divide to undo a multiplication, multiply to undo a division.
