Lets learn Mathematics-(TB-1)-grade6

The Grade 6 Mathematics textbook consists of two parts, each containing 15 units. We have adopted a consistent approach in the development of each unit. We have made an explicit attempt to start every unit with real-life examples so that pupils can relate to the mathematical concepts and appreciate their importance. We build on the Grade 5 curricula to ensure a smooth transition to Grade 6. Following a recapitulation and introduction of key concepts, we provide a number of exercises to allow pupils to practice targeted skills Each unit has an ICT link and ends with the continuous assessment which comprises both structured and multiple-choice problems. We also highlight common areas of difficulties and misconceptions. We have provided sets of conceptually-rich problems that are of different levels to cater for pupils of diverse abilities. Teachers may choose problems that are adapted to their class ability.

We are more than convinced that pedagogy matters and can make a difference. We would encourage teachers to put emphasis on conceptual understanding before moving procedures. We hope that pupils, teachers, as well as parents find in this book resources that will enable them to experience mathematics as a sense making endeavor, as a subject that is within the learner’s reach and that is intrinsically rewarding.
