6th grade Math Games

Sixth grade is the bridge to algebra. Students work with ratios and rates, percents, negative numbers, expressions and the first one-step equations, and they begin to describe data with mean and median. The games here let players try those ideas in short, original puzzles rather than worksheets. Levels let a student review earlier material or reach ahead. Everything runs in the browser with no account, so a teacher can post a link and have a whole class playing in a minute.
