In Year 6, students progress to learning all about prime and composite numbers, performing operations on decimal numbers, calculating discounts, converting between different units of measurement, using the Cartesian coordinate system and calculating angles. The products below help students of all skill levels master these concepts and more.
At Abacus, we have an array of learning resources Year 6 maths students can use. Our products are carefully crafted according to the recommendations by the Australian curriculum for Year 6 maths resources.
Students will progress to prime and composite numbers, as well as square and triangular numbers. They will also learn to apply the concept of integers to everyday life.
Students will practise the basics of performing various operations on decimal numbers. They will then link this knowledge to related concepts such as fractions and percentages.
Students will learn to interpret and calculate common discounts on items marked for sale. They will practise this concept using their knowledge of related operations and appropriate digital aids.
Students will learn how to use the Cartesian coordinate system to visualise locations and data. They will learn the relationship of the four quadrants to each other and how to describe locations in terms of this system.
Students will learn to measure geometric angles with and without the aid of tools (e.g. protractors). They will learn to approximate and/or calculate these angles, as well as the practical applications of the same.
What better way to teach students about the maths of location than a treasure hunt? You can design this game around your current lesson on the Cartesian coordinate system, or incorporate what your students have learnt about angles as well.
Ask one group of students to create a scavenger hunt setup within the classroom. Have them draw up a map with coordinates, and then distribute copies of this map to the rest of the class, which will also be divided into groups according to class size. These other groups must then find the treasure based on the map, and the first group to achieve this objective ‘wins’.
As its name suggests, this is based on the game show of the same name. Instead of news-related questions, however, Year 6 maths questions will be asked.
Like in Have You Been Paying Attention?, students are free to give the most hilarious answers they can think of, but they will not be awarded points for such. On the other hand, correct answers will be awarded 10 points (or any number of points as agreed upon by the class).
