CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.1

Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, "The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak." "For every ...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.2

Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, "This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flou...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.5

Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use ...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.6.A

Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 on the number line; recognize that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself, e.g., -(-3) = 3, and that 0 is its own opposite.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.7

Understand ordering and absolute value of rational numbers.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.7.C

Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line; interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world situation. For example, for an account balance of -30 dollars, wri...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.8

Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. Include use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.A.1

Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.B.6

Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.

Math 6.2(A)

Classify whole numbers, integers, and rational numbers using a visual representation such as a Venn diagram to describe relationships between sets of numbers;
Math 6.2(B)

Identify a number, its opposite, and its absolute value;
MATH 6.4(C)

Give examples of ratios as multiplicative comparisons of two quantities describing the same attribute;
Math 6.4(D)

Give examples of rates as the comparison by division of two quantities having different attributes, including rates as quotients;
Math 6.4(E)

Represent ratios and percents with concrete models, fractions, and decimals;
Math 6.7(A)

Generate equivalent numerical expressions using order of operations, including whole number exponents and prime factorization;
Math 6.9(A)

Write one-variable, one-step equations and inequalities to represent constraints or conditions within problems;
Math 6.11

Measurement and data. The student applies mathematical process standards to use coordinate geometry to identify locations on a plane. The student is expected to graph points in all four quadrants using ordered pairs of rational numbers.

Looking for Math Alphabet Posters?

Have you ever found yourself wondering what to do with your bulletin boards for your 5th and 6th-grade math classes? Are you looking for something that is a bit more permanent and can serve as a reference tool for your students all year long? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

Teach Starter has developed this ABC’s of Math Alphabet Poster Pack to reinforce common math vocabulary used in 5th and 6th grade.

This resource includes 26 Math Alphabet posters, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each poster contains a math vocabulary term, an explanation, and a visual image for each word.

This math bulletin board set includes topics ranging from:

Absolute Value
Coordinate Planes
Decimals
Expressions, Equations, and Relationships

And more!

How to Make the Most of Your ABC’s of Math Alphabet Poster Set

Print the posters and mount them above your whiteboard, serving as a classroom ABC chart.
Print the posters and display them in ABC order on a classroom or hallway bulletin board.
Print the posters, slide them into a clear sleeve, and hang them on a ring as a reference tool for a learning center.

We’ve also come up with bonus ways to turn these ABC’s of Math Posters into interactive tools that really make your lessons stick!

📝 Create a fill-in-the-blank worksheet by removing selections of text.

📂 Place copies in students’ homework folders for reference.

💻 Provide posters as digital resources for virtual students.

🧠 Test students’ memories by showing them one of the posters, then hiding it and having them tell you what they remember.

✅ Incorporate posters into your lesson wrap-up: students write on a sticky note what they learned from the lesson and place it on the poster.
