Grade 6 mathematics

In Grade 6, learners work with negative numbers, connect fractions, decimals and percentages, and use the order of operations. They convert between metric units, investigate angle relationships, compare data displays and express probabilities as numbers. Real-world contexts such as weather, shopping discounts and sport help bring these ideas to life.

Number

Algebra

Order of operationsFull lesson · 45 minUse the conventions for the order of operations, including brackets, to evaluate number sentences and find unknown values.

Measurement

Converting metric unitsFull lesson · 45 minConvert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity, such as millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres, using decimals where needed.

Space

Angle relationshipsFull lesson · 45 minUse the facts that angles on a straight line add to 180°, angles around a point add to 360° and vertically opposite angles are equal to find unknown angles.

Statistics

Comparing data displaysFull lesson · 45 minInterpret and compare different ways of displaying data, including side-by-side column graphs, and think critically about how data is presented in the media.

Probability

Probability as numbersFull lesson · 45 minDescribe probabilities using fractions, decimals and percentages between 0 and 1, and compare the expected and observed results of repeated chance experiments.

Curriculum notes

Australian Curriculum v9.0. Topics are organized around the Australian Curriculum v9.0 Mathematics strands. This is an independent learning resource; it is not endorsed by ACARA and has not been mapped to individual content descriptions.

These lessons were written around Australian Curriculum strands and matched to Canadian grades by age (Kindergarten is the year before Grade 1). They are not mapped to any province's curriculum, and some use Australian examples, so check them against your province's learning outcomes and your own plans.
