Grade 6 Mathematics

The Ontario Grade 6 Mathematics course has six strands: Social-Emotional Learning Skills and the Mathematical Processes, Number, Algebra, Data, Spatial Sense and Financial Literacy. The museum maps parts of strands B to F; strand A names skills only.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand B: Number

Numbers and operations: decimals, integers, written algorithms, divisors and factors (overall expectations B1 and B2).

  1. Tenths, hundredths and equal amounts Reading, comparing and ordering decimals to thousandths, and showing that fractions and decimals can name the same amount. Invention
  2. Debts and numbers below zero Reading integers on number lines, with a debt as an example of a number below zero. Invention
  3. Places, estimates and written steps Whole numbers to one million, and estimating and using written algorithms to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Invention
  4. Divisors and factors Divisibility rules, and writing composite numbers as products of prime factors. Invention

Strand C: Algebra

Patterns and rules, expressions and equations (overall expectations C1 and C2). The coding expectations of this strand are in the gap register.

  1. Patterns built by a rule Finding the rule of a pattern and using it to extend the pattern and predict. Invention
  2. Unknowns and equations Evaluating expressions and solving equations with several terms, and checking the solutions. Invention × 2

Strand D: Data

Collecting, organising and analysing data (overall expectation D1). Probability (D2) is in the gap register.

  1. Counting to read a message Collecting and organising data, and analysing it by questioning first guesses and drawing conclusions. Invention

Strand E: Spatial Sense

Shape, location, movement and measurement (overall expectations E1 and E2).

  1. Quadrilaterals and their properties Listing the properties of a quadrilateral. Invention
  2. Measuring areas and surfaces Finding areas by decomposing shapes, and the surface areas of prisms and pyramids by adding the areas of their faces. Invention × 2

Strand F: Financial Literacy

Knowledge and skills for informed financial decisions (overall expectation F1).

  1. Paying, trading and giving Methods of payment, and trading, lending, borrowing and donating as ways of sharing resources. StoryInvention × 2
  2. Saving and interest Financial goals and the steps towards them, and what interest rates and fees are. Reflection × 2
