Final answer:

The statement's accuracy is unclear without context, as 'rock to the right' is not a standard term in mathematics. In math, all digits in a number are significant, which is a fact that does not align with the terminology used in the statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement concerning the signing of two-digit numbers, where both digits are six or higher and the second digit is smaller, involving a "rock to the right" is not provided with enough context to determine its accuracy in terms of the mathematics curriculum or number signing conventions. However, the information given in the reference does not appear to match the terminology or practice typically used in mathematics. Rather it seems like it could pertain to a specific system or set of instructions possibly used in a specialized educational context or game that is not universally recognized. When dealing with typical mathematical operations or number representations, such terminology is not commonly employed.

In standard mathematical practice, all digits in a number are considered significant. For example, in a two-digit number like 68, both the 6 and the 8 are significant figures. The terms 'rock to the right' is not a standard mathematical concept and so without further context, it is difficult to provide a true or false answer to the statement.
