6th Grade -Offline Activities 2 per week
Cooking Conversions: Find a recipe. Identify the ingredients. Convert the measurement so that they are all a fraction. Then covert the measurements to decimals, and finally, percent. Order the numbers (ignoring the units cups, teaspoons, ounces) from least to greatest.
Make a multiplication chart on a spare sheet of paper. If you need a challenge mix up the numbers on the side before you start. (Dr. Rush, I can get you a picture example)
Integer War- you will need a deck of cards (you can remove face cards). With a partner each person lays down a card. Black cards have a positive value, red cards have a negative value. Each player multiplies the numbers. The person who says the correct value first gets to keep the cards. The player with the most cards at the end wins.
Find an object with triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, or trapezoids. Measure the sides and height to find the area of each shape. Put the areas and the opposite value of each area on a number line.
Use flashcards or create your own flash cards to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Create your own flash cards to practice all operations with negative numbers.
Look at the amount of an item in your pantry or refrigerator. Convert the amount to a different unit of measure. Examples: one gallon of milk = 4 quarts of milk 32 fluid ounces of juice = 1 quart of juice
Find 3 different sized boxes. Measure the length, width, and height and find the volume of each. Put the volumes in order from least to greatest.
Play a card game, a board game, or put a puzzle together. This reinforces math skills and critical thinking/problem solving skills.
Have your child time themselves doing different physical activities (10 jumping jacks, 25 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, etc.). Put the times in order from quickest to slowest.

Look at a recipe and adjust the amounts for each ingredient to triple the recipe. Put the original amounts and the new amounts on a number line. Is there another way to write each of the numbers (fraction, decimal or percent)?
Find any 3-4 objects with triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, or circles. Measure the dimensions. Combine the shapes and find the total area of the composite figure.
Find a partner (or family member) to play rock, paper, scissors with. Predict the number of time you think you will win, lose, or tie. Play 50 rounds and record the results. How close were you on your prediction? What is the probability you will win, lose, or tie if you played 10 more times?

Play a card game, a board game, or put a puzzle together. This reinforces math skills and critical thinking/problem solving skills.
Draw the layout of your bedroom on a coordinate grid. Be sure to include various items in your layout (like your bed, or dresser). Use rules of translations, rotations, and reflections to transform the locations of the objects in your room to create a new layout. Be sure to include the rule used for each transformation.

Research the cost of a local university or college. Determine the cost of tuition for the first 2 years of attendance. Calculate a savings plan of how much you or your parents will have to save every month for 4 years to cover the cost of the first 2 years of college at the college or university you selected.
Algebra I -Offline Activities 2 per week

Your company is going to make frames as part of a new product they are launching. The frame will be cut out of a piece of steel, and to keep the weight down, the final area should be 28 cm2. The inside of the frame has to be 11 cm by 6 cm. What should the width x of the metal be? Hint: Find the area of steel before cutting and the area of steel after cutting out the 11 × 6 middle. Then solve graphically.
