sixth grade
Sixth grade (called Grade 6 in some regions) is a year of education in the United States and many other nations. The sixth grade is the sixth school year after kindergarten. Students are usually 11 - 12 years old. Traditionally, sixth grade was the final year of elementary school.
In the United States and Canada, sixth grade is usually the first year of middle school but sometimes the final year of elementary school. It can sometimes be the second year of middle school.
 In mathematics, students usually learn about multiplication and division of fractions and decimals. Exponents are also generally introduced, and students learn about the properties of circles and polygons, and the measurement of angles in degrees. Pre-Algebra and Algebra I are taught in some schools, as honors courses.
In science, students usually learn about life science, physical science, or earth science. Students are introduced to scientific methodology, taxonomy, and ecology.
In English, students usually learn about grammar and the different types of writing (e.g. poetry, narrative, book report, research report).
Its English and Welsh equivalent is Year 7, the first year of secondary school. Its Northern Irish equivalent is First Form or Year 8, which is also the first year of secondary school. The Scottish equivalent is Primary 7, which is the last year of primary school.
In Brazil, the age of the first year in elementary school was recently raised from 8 to 9 years. As such the minimum age required to enter the sixth grade was changed from 10 to 11 years old.
