This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 6th grade Math content.

This resource accompanies our Rethink 6th Grade Math course. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

 Students will create a map that includes (at minimum) five quadrilateral buildings, one must be the post office.   They will use the spheros to find the best route from the post office to each of the buildings, in the shortest amount of time.  Students will need to find the total amount of time it takes the mailman to deliver the mail to each building. Determine how much he would get paid per hour if he received $100 to complete the route. 

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of selected math standards. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards through examples and illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard, although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.

In this part of the unit on ratios and proportions, students will use ratio language to write ratios in a real-world context.  They will be architects who are designing an amusement park, an aquarium research center, or a baseball stadium.  Students will write equivalent ratios and use them to make their building a physically safe space that meets all building requirements.  During this project, students will also be converting between units (e.g., inches and feet) as they find equivalent ratios.  After students have made all of their calculations, they will analyze another set of design specifications and create a presentation explaining whether these new specifications would result in an architecturally safe building.  Students will use their math calculations from the design challenge to justify their answers.

Making a scale model of the solar system is not a novel idea, but this site restricts its consideration to the Earth, Moon, and Mars and explains in more detail than most. Using balloons for the planetary bodies makes the actual construction simple. A student activity sheet is included.

Students will investigate gas price unit rates around the world. They will solve real world problems as well that include unit rates. This lesson was developed by Jodie Hott as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Students will represent the same value as a fraction, decimal, and percentage as they label each continent on a map with the percentage of the world's population in each continent, based on information from the book, "If the World Were a Village." Students will discuss the distribution of populations around the globe and how that impacts those areas of the world differently.This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Students have a discussion connecting their lives to the globe. They then discuss the concept of scale as it relates to maps/globes and the book "If the World Were a Village." Finally they use a graphic organizer to predict what the book is going to tell them about the people of the world.This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Teacher will model how to create a pie chart using data from the book, "If the World Were a Village." Then the class will create a pie chart together as guided practice. The class will draw conclusions about peoples' different experiences and perspectives from the data in the chart. The teacher will introduce the poster project to the students, and they will select a set of data from the book to create their own pie chart with. This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.

Students will investigate the concepts of ratio and rate. They use multiple forms of ratio language and ratio notation, and formalize understanding of equivalent ratios.

Students begin their sixth grade year investigating the concepts of ratio and rate. They use multiple forms of ratio language and ratio notation, and formalize understanding of equivalent ratios.
