This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that addition and subtraction problems can be solved using a variety of strategies. Students are provided opportunities to: partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to at least 1000 to solve additive problems; choose and use efficient strategies to solve addition and subtraction ...

This 2-week unit unit develops the big idea that fractions represent multiple ideas and can be represented in different ways. Students are provided opportunities to: partition, measure, label and compare lengths and wholes using fractions; solve problems with fractions; represent and compare fractions of measures and quantities; ...

This learning sequence explores measurement and geometry. Throughout the sequence, students are encouraged to estimate and test their estimates. Students transition from measuring and comparing different lengths, masses, capacities, and temperatures of common items to measuring perimeter, area of two-dimensional shapes ...

In this activity, students use fractions to create scaled model planets. Students predict how big each planet will look in comparison to Earth, and draw their predictions. They use operations involving fractions to calculate the scales of their models and use different methods to measure the diameter of the model planets.

This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 6 Mathematics. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation ...

• TLF-IDA003164

This planning resource for Year 6 is for the topic of Mathematical modelling. Students use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving natural and rational numbers and percentages, including in financial contexts. They formulate the problem, choose operations and efficient calculation strategies, and use ...
