Standards for Mathematical Practice
Online Resources
The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that

mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students.
These practices rest on important processes and proficiencies with
longstanding importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the
NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof,
communication, representation, and connections. The second are the strands
of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Councils
report Adding It Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic competence, conceptual
understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and
relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly,
accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual
inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled
with a belief in diligence and ones own efficacy).

lesson, not a sixth grade digits lesson.
(These lessons are listed in the Sixth Grade Honors Math Pacing Guide and
do not need to be taught separately. This listing is for reference only.)
Standard
ALCOS #1: Understand the concept of a ratio,

and use ratio language to describe a ratio
relationship between two quantities. (6-RP1)
ALCOS #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. (6-RP2)
ALCOS #3: Use ratio and rate reasoning to
solve real-world and mathematical problems,
e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent
ratios, tape diagrams, double number line
diagrams, or equations. (6-RP3)
ALCOS #3(a): Make tables of equivalent ratios
relating quantities with whole-number
measurements, find missing values in the
tables, and plot the pairs of values on the
coordinate plane. Use tables to compare
ratios. (6-RP3a)
ALCOS #3(c): Find a percent of a quantity as a
rate per 100 (e.g., 30% of a quantity means
30
/100 times the quantity); solve problems
involving finding the whole, given a part and
the percent. (6-RP3c)

negative numbers are used together to

describe quantities having opposite directions

or values. (e.g. temperature; elevation;
credits/debits; positive/negative electrical
charge); use positive and negative numbers
to represent quantities in real-world contexts
explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
(6-NS5)
ALCOS #9(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. (6-NS6a) ALCOS #9(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. (6-NS6a)
ALCOS #9(b): Understand signs of numbers in
ordered pairs as indicating locations in
quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize
that when two ordered pairs differ only by
signs, the locations of the points are related
by reflections across one or both axes. (6NS6b)
ALCOS #10(a): Interpret statements of
inequality as statements about the relative
position of two numbers on a number line. (6NS7a)
ALCOS #10(b): Write, interpret, and explain
statements of order for rational numbers in
ALCOS #10(c): Understand the absolute value
of a rational number as its distance from 0 on
the number line; interpret absolute value as

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. (6-NS8)
ALCOS #13(a): Write expressions that record
operations with numbers and with letters
standing for numbers. (6-EE2a)
ALCOS #13(b): Identify parts of an expression
using mathematical terms (sum, term,
product, factor, quotient, and coefficient);

single entity. (6-EE2b)
ALCOS #14: Apply the properties of
operations to generate equivalent
expressions. (6-EE3)
ALCOS #15: Identify when two expressions
are equivalent (i.e. when the two expressions
name the same number regardless of which
value is substituted into them). (6-EE4)
ALCOS #16: Understand solving an equation
or inequality as a process of answering a
question: which values from a specified set,
if any, make the equation or inequality true?
Use substitution to determine whether a
given number in a specified set makes an
equation or inequality true.

understand that a variable can represent an
unknown number or, depending on the
purpose at hand, any number in a specified
set. (6-EE6)
ALCOS #20: Use variables to represent two
quantities in a real-world problem that
change in relationship to one another; write
an equation to express one quantity, thought
of as the dependent variable, in terms of the
other quantity, thought of as the
independent variable. Analyze the
relationship between the dependent and the
independent variables using graphs and
tables, and relate these to the equation. (6EE9)
