Getting Ready for Grade 6 Math
Eight tutor-led lessons that build real number, algebra, and geometry fluency - integers, fractions, percent, and the coordinate plane - before September.
Who it's for: Students finishing Grade 5 and heading into Grade 6 this September, in small tutor-led groups of four. Bridges the jump: numbers to one million, integers appear, fractions gain unlike-denominator operations, decimals reach thousandths, algebra and the four-quadrant coordinate plane begin.
The 8-lesson plan
Slides are what your tutor works from in the live lesson. The practice module is homework: do it before the next lesson.
Place Value to One Million, Multiplication, Division & Divisibility Rules
Extend place value fluency from 100 000 to one million, refresh multiplication and division, and learn the divisibility rules for 2 through 10 as a new mental-math toolkit.
Meet the Integers: Negative Numbers, Number Lines & Comparing Rational Numbers
Represent integers on horizontal and vertical number lines using real contexts like temperature and elevation, and compare and order integers alongside decimals and fractions.
Fractions Grow Up Again: Unlike Denominators, Multiplying & Dividing by Whole Numbers
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators and multiply and divide a whole number by a proper fraction, using fraction-bar and sharing pictures throughout.
Decimals to Thousandths: Comparing, Rounding, Multiplying & Dividing
Read, compare, round, multiply, and divide decimal numbers to thousandths, including a first look at repeating decimals.
Ratios, Rates & Percent in Real Life
Simplify ratios, calculate rates, and use fast mental-math strategies to find a percent of a number in real-world contexts.
Patterns to Algebra: Linear Expressions, Monomials & Multi-Term Equations
Turn a linear growing pattern into a table, graph, and algebraic expression, add monomials, evaluate expressions, and solve and verify a multi-term equation.
The Coordinate Plane, Transformations & Angle Relationships
Plot and transform shapes across all four quadrants of the coordinate plane, measure angles up to 360 degrees, and solve for unknown angles using angle relationships.
Area, Nets & Surface Area: From Trapezoids to 3D Shapes
Decompose composite shapes including trapezoids, rhombuses, and kites into known pieces, then build nets to calculate the surface area of prisms and pyramids.
