6th Grade Math Word Wall

Are you looking for a way to support your 6th grade math students? In this post are just some of the visual 6th grade math vocabulary references included in a 6th grade math word wall. The math word wall has grown a lot over the years as I have added teacher requests, and now includes a printable color version, a printable black & white version, an interactive digital version in Google Slides, and printable Spanish vocabulary.

There's a lot more in this math vocabulary word wall for 6th grade than shown in this post. I wanted to highlight just a few of the many references.

Here's part of the 6th grade math word wall's data section showing mean, median, mode, range, mean absolute deviation, box plot, quartiles, interquartile range, dot plot, histogram and bar graph. 

Skew was a more recent teacher request. Here you can see the vocabulary right skew, left skew, no skew. 

Here are a couple simple references for converting a percent into a decimal. I hand-colored a lot of the references in this post. Every reference is also included in color in the 6th grade math word wall.

Nets were another teacher request. Here you can see the vocabulary references and nets for cube, triangular pyramid, right square pyramid, cylinder, rectangular prism, and triangular prism. I also hand-colored the b&w versions of these. They are also included in color if you have a color printer.

Here are the references for stem and leaf plot and frequency table.

These solving 1-step equations posters were the most recent addition to the 6th grade math word wall from a teacher request.

There are posters in the math word wall for multiplying and dividing fractions using visual models, as well as references for the coordinate plane, ordered pair, independent variable and dependent variable.

Here is another recent addition to the 6th grade math word wall for finding LCM and GCF. A ladder method reference is also included, if you prefer that method for teaching greatest common factor and least common multiple. 

Here's a gif showing how the digital 6th grade math word wall works. Each image on the home screen clicks to a larger image.  

There is a short video here showing more of what is included in the word wall.
