Math Galaxy’s Sixth Grade Math covers all of the Common Core math standards for sixth grade as listed below.
The concepts are presented in bite-size pieces with an unlimited supply of practice problems, with numbers chosen randomly.
Illustrations are used throughout to reinforce the concepts.
By solving problems students earn robots to use in maze and side-scrolling games.
Certificates and summaries of scores can be emailed to be printed.
