1. Express the problem as a division: we want to know how many full groups of 6 can be made from 82 sixth graders, so we calculate 
   $$
   82 \div 6.
   $$

2. Determine the largest whole number $$ n $$ such that 
   $$
   6n \leq 82.
   $$
   
3. Check with $$ n = 13 $$:
   $$
   6 \times 13 = 78 \quad (\text{which is less than 82}).
   $$

4. Check with $$ n = 14 $$:
   $$
   6 \times 14 = 84 \quad (\text{which is greater than 82}).
   $$

5. Since $$6 \times 13$$ is the highest multiple of 6 that does not exceed 82, there are 
   $$
   13 \text{ full groups.}
   $$

Thus, the answer is $$13$$ full groups.
There are 13 full groups of 6 sixth graders.
