Geometry is an important part of a student's mathematical experience. Geometry provides students with a strong link between the math they learn in the classroom and the real world. In grade 6, we are working through ou geometry chapter. We are building on our knowledge of angles and construction of two-dimensional figures. Through daily activities, students will explore two-dimensional figures and investigate the properties of different regular and irregular polygons. Students will sort polygons and explore relationships between vertices, side length, and angle measurement of these figures. We will learn to construct quadrilaterals and triangles using a protractor, ruler and a compass.

Grade 6 Learning Goals:

- sort and classify quadrilaterals by geometric properties related to symmetry, angles, and sides, through investigation using a variety of tools

- sort polygons according to the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry, through investigation using a variety of tools

- measure and construct angles up to 180° using a protractor, and classify them as acute, right, obtuse, or straight angles;

- construct polygons using a variety of tools, given angle and side measurements

build three-dimensional models using connecting cubes, given isometric sketches or different views (i.e., top, side, front) of the structure

- sketch, using a variety of tools (e.g., isometric dot paper, dynamic geometry software), isometric perspectives and different views (i.e., top, side, front) of three-dimensional figures built with interlocking cubes.

Here is a Geometry review for you to work on at home. An test is coming the week of January 20th to 24th. Use these questions to help you prepare and review at home. This review has also been shared with you Gr. 6 in your drive. It is in your Math folder.

Here is a number sense review for you to work on at home. An assessment is coming Tuesday January 14th. Use these questions to help you prepare and review at home. This review has also been shared with you Gr. 6 in your drive. It is in your Math folder.

Gr. 6 Prime & Composite Review

A prime number is a number that only has two factors, 1 and itself. Check out the video below to help review what a prime number is.

A composite number is a number that has 3 or more factors.

Prime Factorization

Prime factorization is finding the factors of a number that are all prime and multiply together to equal the number given. The video below shows how to identify factors and use a factor tree to complete prime factorization of several numbers.

Grade 6 Learning Goals:

- Identify composite numbers and prime numbers, and explain the relationship between them (any composite number can be factored into prime factors - for example 42=2 x 3 x 7

Gr. 6 Examining numbers from 1 to 1 000 000

We have started working on our next mathematics unit on whole numbers. The students will explore numbers from 0.001 to 1 000 000 in grade 6 and develop an understanding of how to read, represent, order and compare these numbers. We began with whole numbers to 1 000 000, studying place value, representing numbers in standard form, expanded form and written form. This week we are working on comparing and ordering numbers and rounding numbers to the nearest hundred thousand and to the nearest million. Next, we will take a look at place value in decimal numbers. We will have different quizzes and questions to assess if your child understands the concepts being explored. You can help your child with this unit by helping your child find and read large numbers in newspapers and magazines.

Gr. 6 Learning Goals

• Demonstrate an understanding of place value in whole numbers and decimal numbers from 0.001 to 1 000 000
• Represent, compare and order whole numbers and decimal numbers from 0.001 to 1 000 000
• Solve problems that arise from real-life situations and that relate to the magnitude of whole numbers up to 1 000 000
• Read and print in words whole numbers to one hundred thousand, using meaningful contexts

Grade 6 Patterning Review

PATTERNING

Patterns surround us, they are in the games we play, the routes we take to school, and the routines we have each day. Patterns help us make sense of the world we live in and allow us to pose and solve problems. Patterns occur regularly in math and they can be represented by numbers, words, models and formulas. As children learn to identify, extend and create patterns, they develop powerful skills that will help them make sense of the math and science world.

Grade 6 Learning Goals

In Grade 6, students will learn to:

1. Describe pattern rules (in words) that generate patterns by adding or subtracting a constant, or multiplying or dividing by a constant, to get the next term.
2. Make tables of values for growing patterns, given pattern rules in words, then list the ordered pairs (with the first coordinate representing the input number and the second coordinate representing the output number) and plot the points on a grid.
3. Determine the term number of a given term in a growing pattern that is represented by a pattern rule in words or a table of values.
4. Identify geometric patterns, through investigation using concrete materials or drawings, and represent them numerically.

INPUT OUTPUT MACHINE VIDEO

Grade 6 - Check out this video! An Input/Output Machine that follows two numbers and two operations.

GRADE 6 PATTERNING CHECK IN ASSESSMENT NEXT WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 25th

What to expect:

• Students will be given number patterns that apply a rule that uses one number and operation to get the next AND number patterns that apply a rule that uses two numbers and operations to get the next term
• Students will be asked to extend the pattern and write the pattern rule
