Class 6 Mathematics
This course bridges primary arithmetic and formal secondary mathematics by introducing abstract thinking through variables and structural geometry. Students develop fluency in number systems while applying logical reasoning to real world spatial and quantitative problems.
The World of Numbers
Exploring large numbers, estimation, and the underlying structure of our number system including factors and multiples.
Understanding how large numbers are structured and why rounding is essential for practical problem solving.
Investigating the properties of prime and composite numbers through factors and multiples.
Applying Highest Common Factors and Lowest Common Multiples to solve synchronization and division problems.
Integer Logic and Rational Parts
Moving beyond whole numbers to understand negative values, fractional parts, and decimal representations.
Introducing directed numbers to represent values below zero like temperature and debt.
Visualizing and calculating with fractions to understand proportions and equivalence.
Connecting fractions to the decimal system for precise measurement and financial calculations.
Introduction to Algebraic Thinking
Transitioning from concrete arithmetic to abstract representation using variables and expressions.
Learning to use letters to represent unknown quantities and generalize mathematical patterns.
Comparing quantities through division and understanding the concept of scaling.
Developing a strategy to find the value of one unit to solve for many.
Shapes and Spatial Reasoning
Understanding the fundamental elements of geometry including points, lines, angles, and polygons.
Defining the building blocks of shapes such as line segments, rays, and intersecting lines.
Classifying angles and polygons based on their properties and measurements.
Exploring balance and mirror images in geometric figures and nature.
Measurement and Mensuration
Quantifying the physical world through calculations of perimeter and area.
Measuring the boundary of closed figures and deriving formulas for regular shapes.
Understanding area as the amount of surface enclosed by a closed figure.
Applying area and perimeter concepts to real life construction and design problems.
Data Handling and Analysis
Collecting, organizing, and interpreting information to make informed decisions.
Using tally marks and tables to transform raw information into organized data sets.
Representing data using symbols and pictures to communicate information quickly.
Constructing and reading bar graphs to identify trends and draw conclusions.
