On November 6th, we will begin Unit 2: Arithmetic Operations Including Division of Fractions. The sixth graders will complete their understanding of the four operations (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication) as they study division of whole numbers, division by a fraction, and operations on multi-digit decimals.
