100% here. Calculators are wondrous machines that can help tremendously.... and I didn't see anything saying "no calculators"?ÿ

Correction: I forgot to answer one question. I meant to go back to it (I hear you all saying "Yea, Right")

I got 100% but struggled with the fractions a little bit.

I would be a bit worse if I didn't have multiple answers to choose from.

hp 11c on my iPhone helps.

100%
I had to resort to pen and paper for some of it.

100%, one with pencil and paper, none with calculator. Look at the breadth of knowledge in 6th grade. Fractions, percents, similarity, interpreting graphs, negative numbers, relative sizes of positive and negative numbers.

That's a heck of a lot more than I remember being in 6th grade math.

100% in my head, but having to help my kindergartners with their math homework has probably polished up my skills. They're currently working on adding two-digit numbers and subtracting up into the teens, I think. They're not math geniuses and my occasional attempt to show them a 'trick' has usually backfired. I need to carve out time this summer to do some flash card work with them so they start memorizing/internalizing.?ÿ

("Is 46 + 38 equal to 74?" "Are you sure?" "Okay, that means it's wrong.")

100% in my head.?ÿ That was much simpler than I remember 6th grade math being at St. Agnes Academy back in 1965.

On both 6yh & 7th grade tests, 100%, no paper, pencil, or calculator needed.

If these are real 6th & 7th grade questions, I am pleasantly surprised at the state of education today.

I think the link in the previous post to answers was intended to be the problems:
