 * Grade 6

Number Relationships and Computation/Arithmetic**
 * 1) Demonstrate an understanding of fractions as a ratio of whole numbers, as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a collection, and as locations on the number line (Mass.)
 * 2) Identify and determine common equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents using graphical, pictorial, concrete, and numerical representations (Mass.)
 * 3) Find and position [integers?], fractions, mixed number, and decimals (both positive and [negative?]) on the number line (Mass.)
 * 4) Compare and order integers [(including negative integers)?], and positive fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, and percents (Mass.)
 * 5) Apply number theory concepts--including prime and composite numbers, prime factorization, greatest common factor, least common multiple, and divisibility rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10--to the solution of problems (Mass.)
 * 6) Add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers and express answers in simplest form (VSC 6.C.1.a)
 * 7) Develop an understanding of and fluency with multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers and express answers in simplest form (Grade 6 CFP, VSC 6.C.1.b, and Grade 7 VSC 6.C.1.c)
