Hi, I was wondering because NY state is very vague, what should a 6th grader be learning?

My 5th to 6th grader is learning grammar, writing, diagramming sentences with her 5th grade Rod and Staff english.  It's pretty intense, though, and very traditional because its written for the menonite schools.

And she does 6th grade math where she is really solidifying longer math problems and math concepts that she needs to know for Algebra in the next year or two.   Again, she's using Rod and Staff, and again, I'm finding it very formal and traditional.   Most days she responds well to this, but drags her feet others.    They are right now really drilling conversions (measurement conversions and such)... and she has been down the converting fractions/decimals and such too, plus longer division and multiplication involving decimals, fractions, mixed numbers.   She is learning some basic geometry and algebra, too.   Setting up equations, solving them with several steps, etc...  I forget what else they will be covering.
