LANGUAGE ARTS
W.SP.06.01 Spell frequently misspelled words correctly (e.g., their, there, they’re) in the context of their ownwriting
R.IT.06.01 Analyze elements and style of informational genre (e.g., research report, how-toarticles, essays).
R.IT.06.02 Analyze organizational patterns.
R.IT.06.03 Explain how authors use text features to enhance the understanding of central, key, and supporting ideas (e.g., footnotes, bibliographies, introductions, summaries, conclusions, appendices).
R.CM.06.01 Connect personal knowledge, experience, and understanding of the world to themes and perspectives in the text.
R.CM.06.02 Read, retell and summarize grade level appropriate narrative and informational texts of grade level appropriate informational text.
R.MT.06.01 Independently self-monitor comprehension when reading or listening to text by automatically using and discussing the strategies used by mature readers to increase comprehension and engage in interpretative discussions (e.g., predicting, constructing mental images representing ideas in text, questioning, rereading or listening again if uncertain about meaning, inferring, summarizing).
R.MT.06.02 Plan, monitor, regulate, and evaluate skills, strategies, and processes for their own reading comprehension by applying appropriate metacognitive skills (e.g. SQ3R, pattern guides, process of reading guides).
 
 
 
MATH:  
G.GS.06.02   Understand that for polygons, congruence means corresponding sides and angles have equal measures.
G.TR.06.03   Understand the basic rigid motions in the plane (reflections, rotations, translations), relate these to congruence, and apply  them to solve problems
D.PR.06.01   Express probabilities as fractions, decimals or percentages between 0 and 1; know that 0 probability means an event will not occur and that probability 1 means an event will occur.
D.PR.06.02   Compute probabilities of events from simple experiments with equally likely outcomes, e.g., tossing dice, flipping coins, spinning spinners, by listing all possibilities and finding the fraction that meets given conditions.
N.ME.06.17   Locate negative rational numbers (including integers) on the   number line; know that numbers and their negatives add to 0, and are on opposite sides and at equal distance from 0 on a number line.
N.ME.06.19   Understand that 0 is an integer that is neither negative nor positive.
N.ME.06.20   Know that the absolute value of a # is the value of the #, ignoring the sign, or is the distance of the # from 0.
 
 
 
SCIENCE:
SCI.I.MS.2  Design and conduct scientific investigations.
SCI.I.MS.3   Use tool and equipment appropriate to scientific investigations.
SCI II.MS.3  Show how common themes of science, mathematics and technology apply in real-world contexts.
SCI.IV.1.MS.5  Construct simple circuits and explain how they work in terms of the flow of current.
SCI.I.MS.6  Write and follow procedures of step-by-step instructions, formulas, flow diagrams and sketches.
