6th Grade Math Worksheets
Sixth grade turns arithmetic into algebra: ratios and rates, percentages, exponents and whole-expression order of operations, and the first one-step equations. Negative numbers arrive, and dividing fractions finishes the fraction work. Each page below prints a fresh sheet for one skill.
Ratios and percents are the new ideas this year, so those pages are the place to start. The expressions pages pick up where fifth grade left off, adding exponents to order of operations and then a variable to solve for.
The last section looks ahead to seventh grade, for students who are ready to go further.

Frequently asked questions
What math does 6th grade cover?
Ratios and rates, percentages, dividing fractions, negative numbers and absolute value, exponents and order of operations, writing and solving one-step equations, the coordinate plane, and statistics.
Is there a coordinate plane worksheet?
Yes. Four-Quadrant Coordinate Plane draws grids from -6 to 6 with lettered points and asks for a point's coordinates, the point at a given pair, the distance between two points that share a coordinate, and a point's quadrant. Polygons on the Coordinate Plane draws a rectangle and an L-shape on the same grids and asks for their area, perimeter and side lengths. Find the Missing Corner gives three corners of a rectangle as pairs and asks for the fourth, with a blank grid beside the questions to plot on if it helps. None of them marks a plotted point, because a plotted point is a drawing and an answer key can only print values.
Is sixth grade math pre-algebra?
Much of it is. Ratios, negative numbers, exponents and one-step equations are the groundwork algebra is built on, and sixth grade is where letters start standing for numbers. The one-step equations and evaluating expressions pages start at that level.
Do the order of operations pages include parentheses?
PEMDAS Worksheets does. Order of Operations with Exponents has squares and cubes but no parentheses, so the two pages together cover the full rule.
Where do negative numbers start?
With Integers on a Number Line and Absolute Value, which settle what a negative number is before any arithmetic is done with it. Adding and subtracting integers is in the last section.
