Grade 6 Mathematics Diagnostic
NC EOG-Aligned Readiness Assessment
Learning Objectives
Use ratios, unit rates, and percents to solve real-world problems.
Divide fractions, compute with decimals, and find common factors and multiples.
Reason about rational numbers, absolute value, and the coordinate plane.
Write, evaluate, and generate equivalent algebraic and numerical expressions.
Solve one-step equations and reason about one-variable inequalities.
Find area, surface area, and volume and work with polygons on the coordinate plane.
Summarize data using measures of center, spread, and data displays.
Directions
~3 minutesThis diagnostic screens all five Grade 6 math domains. It follows the NC End-of-Grade emphasis, so ratio and rate reasoning and algebraic expressions appear most often. Read each question carefully and use scratch paper.
Ratios & Proportional Relationships
~16 minutesRatio table (flour to cookies).
| Cups of flour | Cookies |
