The Grade 6 mathematics curriculum is designed to solidify learners' fundamental mathematical understanding, skills, and values, building upon their prior knowledge. This curriculum introduces more complex mathematical concepts, encouraging learners to apply logical reasoning and critical thinking to a variety of mathematical problems.
Understanding numbers and their relationships
In Number Sense, learners will explore whole numbers, prime numbers, composite numbers, and square numbers.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
In Operations with Numbers, learners will delve deeper into their understanding of division and decimals.
Recognizing, creating, and extending patterns
In Patterns and Relationships, learners will develop a greater understanding that repeating patterns consist of a repeated core sequence.
Exploring shapes and their attributes
In Geometrical Thinking, learners are introduced to the concept of volume and recognise it as a characteristic of three-dimensional space.
Understanding and applying measurement concepts
In Measurement, learners are introduced to the concept of volume and recognise it as a characteristic of three-dimensional space.
