Operations with integers 
Operations with fractions, including complex fractions
Expressing a fraction as a decimal and a percent
Order of operations

Applications

6. Geometry
Angles: acute, obtuse, right, straight, complementary, supplementary, linear pair
Two-dimensional figures, their perimeters and areas: circles, triangles, all quadrilaterals
Three-dimensional figures, their surface areas and their volumes: prisms, pyramids, cones, spheres
