Computation and Estimation Standards of Learning (SOLS)
Focus: Applications of Operations with Rational Numbers
6.6 The student will
a) multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers; and
b) estimate solutions and then solve single-step and multistep practical problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions.
6.7 The student will solve single-step and multistep practical problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals.
6.8 The student will evaluate whole number numerical expressions, using the order of operations.
Kid Language:
a) Multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers.
b) use estimation and addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems with more than one step.
6.7 use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems with more than one step.
6.8 use P.E.M.D.A.S to solve a problem.

Computation and Estimation NCTM Standards
Grades 6–8 Expectations: In grades 6–8 all students should–
Students should be able to go back and forth with fractions, and know when to use different ways to show numbers (exponents, scientific, and calculator). Students should be able to understand, show, and compare numbers that whole numbers that are negative, positive or zero.

Computation and Estimation NCTM Standards
Grades 6–8 Expectations: In grades 6–8 all students should–
- work flexibly with fractions, decimals, and percents to solve problems;
- develop an understanding of large numbers and recognize and appropriately use exponential, scientific, and calculator notation;
- develop meaning for integers and represent and compare quantities with them.
Students should be able to go back and forth with fractions, and know when to use different ways to show numbers (exponents, scientific, and calculator). Students should be able to understand, show, and compare numbers that whole numbers that are negative, positive or zero.
