Grade 6 Math Workbook with Answers

What is sixth grade math? The goal is to become more fluent in arithmetic (including fractions, decimals, percents, exponents, and negative numbers) and also to prepare prealgebra skills. Not all schools and teachers around the world cover the same topics in the same depth in 6th grade, yet at this stage the student is generally learning a variety of arithmetic and prealgebra skills. This sixth grade math workbook includes:
