What you must be able to do...

NC.6.NS.1 Use visual models and common denominators to:

• Interpret and compute quotients of fractions.

• Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving division of fractions. 

NC.6.NS.2 Fluently divide using long division with a minimum of a four-digit dividend and interpret the quotient and remainder in context.

NC.6.NS.3 Apply and extend previous understandings of decimals to develop and fluently use the standard algorithms for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of decimals.

NC.6.NS.4 Understand and use prime factorization and the relationships between factors to:

• Find the unique prime factorization for a whole number.

• Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100.

• Use the greatest common factor and the distributive property to rewrite the sum of two whole numbers, each less than or equal to 100.

• Find the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12 to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators. 

NC.6.NS.5 Understand and use rational numbers to:

• Describe quantities having opposite directions or values.

• Represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.

• Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line to:

  • Interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world context.

  • Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order 

NC.6.NS.6 Understand rational numbers as points on the number line and as ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

a. On a number line:

• • Recognize opposite signs of numbers as indicating locations on opposite sides of 0 and that the opposite of the opposite of a number is the number itself.

  • Find and position rational numbers on a horizontal or vertical number line.

b. On a coordinate plane:

• • Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants.

  • Recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.

  • Find and position pairs of rational numbers on a coordinate plane. 

NC.6.NS.7 Understand ordering of rational numbers.

a. Interpret statements of inequality as statements about the relative position of two numbers on a number line diagram.

b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts. 

NC.6.NS.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. 

NC.6.NS.9 Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction.

• Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0.

• Understand 𝑝 + 𝑞 as the number located a distance q from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on the sign of q. Show that a number and its additive inverse create a zero pair.

• Understand subtraction of integers as adding the additive inverse, 𝑝 − 𝑞 = 𝑝 +(– 𝑞). Show that the distance between two integers on the number line is the absolute value of their difference.

• Use models to add and subtract integers from -20 to 20 and describe real-world contexts using sums and differences.
