Singapore Math Grade 6

We are excited to announce that ESingapore Math has expanded to include Grade 6, completing our K-6 Singapore Math curriculum. Grade 6 serves as a capstone year of elementary Singapore Math and is designed to prepare students for secondary mathematics using Singapore standards.

How Our Grade 6 Is Different

Our Singapore Math Grade 6 curriculum follows the authentic Singapore sequence. On the other hand, many Singapore-based programs used in the U.S. are adapted or reordered to align with Common Core standards. For example, Math in Focus Grade 6 is an Americanized version of Singapore Math, with topic sequences adjusted to fit U.S. frameworks. Also, Eureka Math Grade 6 is entirely aligned to Common Core.

ESingapore Math Grade 6 follows the original Singapore sequence. Algebraic thinking is introduced earlier and more systematically, ratios and percentages follow Singapore progression, and the curriculum is designed to support long-term mathematical development rather than short-term standards alignment. In addition, our program includes online bar modeling, gamified practice, and challenge word problems, providing learning experiences that traditional textbook-based programs do not offer.

Our Curriculum Is Spiral

Our Singapore Math curriculum Grade 6 continues our spiral program, reviewing and strengthening key concepts from earlier grades while introducing new topics with increasing depth and complexity. Students build on prior knowledge as they progress, allowing for continuous reinforcement and mastery of mathematical ideas.

Correspondence to 6A and 6B

Our Primary Singapore Math Grade 6 corresponds broadly to Singapore Math 6A and 6B. While the overall sequence follows Singapore standards, some topics may be introduced earlier or revisited later to support mastery, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving development.

Student Prior Knowledge

Before beginning Grade 6, students should have a solid understanding of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, and percentages; experience solving multi-step word problems using bar models; and familiarity with basic geometry and measurement concepts. A Singapore Math Grade 6 Placement Test is available to help determine readiness and appropriate placement.

6th Grade Singapore Math Scope & Sequence

  • Algebra

    Students are introduced to algebra as a natural extension of arithmetic. They learn to use letters to represent numbers, evaluate algebraic expressions, and simplify expressions. Emphasis is placed on interpreting expressions meaningfully and solving word problems that involve algebraic reasoning.

  • Fractions

    This unit focuses on dividing fractions, including dividing a fraction by a whole number and dividing by a proper fraction. Students apply these skills to solve word problems, strengthening their understanding of fraction operations and their real-world applications.

  • Ratio

    Students explore the relationship between ratios and fractions, compare ratios in different forms, and solve word problems involving ratio reasoning. This unit reinforces proportional thinking and prepares students for more advanced applications in later mathematics.

  • Percentage

    Students learn to find percentages, calculate percentage change, and solve a variety of word problems involving percentages. Concepts are developed through reasoning and application rather than memorization of procedures.

  • Circles

    This unit introduces key concepts related to circles, including radius, diameter, circumference, and area. Students apply these concepts to solve problems involving circles and composite figures.

  • Angles In Geometric Figures

    Students learn to find unknown angles in geometric figures by applying properties of angles and logical reasoning. This unit emphasizes visual understanding and problem-solving strategies.

  • Speed

    Students study the relationship between distance, time, and speed, including average speed. Word problems help students apply formulas and reasoning skills to real-world contexts.

  • Volume Of Solids And Liquids

    This unit develops understanding of volume by exploring the volume of solids and liquids. Students solve problems involving different units and practical measurement situations.

  • Pie Charts

    Students learn to read and interpret pie charts, connecting fractions and percentages to data representation. The focus is on understanding information presented visually and drawing meaningful conclusions.

  • Solid Figures And Nets

    Students explore three-dimensional solids and their nets, developing spatial reasoning and an understanding of geometric structure. This unit supports visualization skills essential for higher-level geometry.
