6th grade math worksheets 17 sheets
Seventeen sheets for what grade 6 math works on in the Common Core: the greatest common factor and least common multiple, dividing a fraction by a fraction, dividing multi-digit numbers and decimals, percents of a number, graphing in all four quadrants, exponents, and one-step equations. Print one, change it on its own page, or take the whole set as one PDF with the answer keys at the back.

All 17 sheets on this page, after a contents page, with the answer keys together at the back: 35 pages.
17 sheets
Factors and multiples 3
GCF and LCM with factor trees
Six pairs to write as products of primes, then find both: a step past the standard, whose LCMs stop at 12.
Common Core 6.NS.B.4
Dividing, fractions and decimals 4
Dividing fractions
A fraction divided by a fraction, as 3/4 ÷ 2/5: turn the second upside down and multiply.
Common Core 6.NS.A.1
Dividing by a decimal
Both points moved until the number you divide by is whole, as 4.56 ÷ 0.3.
Common Core 6.NS.B.3
Percents 3
Percent of a number
Questions such as 25% of 80 = 20: the percent as a decimal, then multiplied.
Common Core 6.RP.A.3c
The coordinate plane 3
Plotting points in four quadrants
Ten points with positive and negative coordinates to plot.
Common Core 6.NS.C.8
Writing coordinates in four quadrants
Ten points on the grid to write as ordered pairs.
Common Core 6.NS.C.8
Coordinate graphing picture: a star
Points in all four quadrants to plot and join in order.
Common Core 6.NS.C.8
Expressions and equations 4
One-step equations: adding and subtracting
Equations such as x + 7 = 15 to solve.
Common Core 6.EE.B.7

How the sheets are chosen
Each sheet sits in the grade whose Common Core standard asks for its skill, and its card names the standard, as 3.OA.C.7 for multiplying and dividing within 100. A school that follows other standards may teach a skill a year earlier or later, so a child who finds a page easy can go on to the next grade’s, and one who needs more practice can go back a grade.
Into algebra
Grade 6 is where letters stand for numbers: an exponent says how many times a number is multiplied by itself, and a one-step equation such as x + 7 = 15 is solved by doing the opposite to both sides. The coordinate plane grows to four quadrants, where the signs of the numbers in a pair say which quadrant the point is in.
The whole set
The set prints every sheet on this page once, in the order shown, after a contents page that lists them with their page numbers. The answer keys come together at the back, so you can print the sheets for the class and keep the keys apart. On its own page, each sheet makes new questions every time and can be changed; the set is one fixed copy, the same each time you download it.
