grade 6 problem solving alberta

Alberta Mathematics Curriculum

Students are entering a new section of math that consists of algebra, geometry, decimals, and more complicated division problems. When there is not a parent or teacher around, students have access to on-demand videos for their sixth-grade mathematical lessons. Our video tutorials are taught by math teachers who go through the problem solving process.

  • The key to learning math is repetition, and our math teachers go through multiple examples. 
  • Math teachers show students step-by-step directions on how to solve these more complex problems.
  • Students learn money, ratios, decimals, graphing, and other concepts from the 6th grade curriculum.

Patterns and Relations

General Outcome

(resource: Learn Alberta)

Use patterns to describe the world and to solve problems.

Specific Outcome 1

Represent and describe patterns and relationships, using graphs and tables.

Specific Outcome 2

Demonstrate an understanding of the relationships within tables of values to solve problems.

Variables and Equations

Specific Outcome 3

Represent generalizations arising from number relationships, using equations with letter variables.

Specific Outcome 4

Express a given problem as an equation in which a letter variable is used to represent an unknown number.

Specific Outcome 5

Demonstrate and explain the meaning of preservation of equality, concretely and pictorially.

Achievement Indicators

  • Translate a pattern to a table of values, and graph the table of values (limited to linear graphs with discrete elements).
  • Create a table of values from a given pattern or a given graph.
  • Describe, using everyday language, orally or in writing, the relationship shown on a graph.
  • Generate values in one column of a table of values, given values in the other column and a pattern rule.
  • State, using mathematical language, the relationship in a given table of values.
  • Create a concrete or pictorial representation of the relationship shown in a table of values.
  • Predict the value of an unknown term, using the relationship in a table of values, and verify the prediction.
  • Formulate a rule to describe the relationship between two columns of numbers in a table of values.
  • Identify missing elements in a given table of values.
  • Identify errors in a given table of values.
  • Describe the pattern within each column of a given table of values.
  • Create a table of values to record and reveal a pattern to solve a given problem.
  • Write and explain the formula for finding the perimeter of any given rectangle.
  • Write and explain the formula for finding the area of any given rectangle.
  • Develop and justify equations using letter variables that illustrate the commutative property of addition and multiplication; e.g., a + b = b + a or a x b = b x a.
  • Describe the relationship in a given table, using a mathematical expression.
  • Represent a pattern rule, using a simple mathematical expression such as 4d or 2n + 1.
  • Identify the unknown in a problem where the unknown could have more than one value, and represent the problem with an equation.
  • Create a problem for a given equation with one unknown.
  • Identify the unknown in a problem; represent the problem with an equation; and solve the problem concretely, pictorially or symbolically.
  • Model the preservation of equality for addition, using concrete materials (e.g., a balance, pictorial representations), and explain and record the process.
  • Model the preservation of equality for subtraction, using concrete materials (e.g., a balance, pictorial representations), and explain and record the process.
  • Model the preservation of equality for multiplication, using concrete materials (e.g., a balance, pictorial representations), and explain and record the process.
  • Model the preservation of equality for division, using concrete materials (e.g., a balance, pictorial representations), and explain and record the process.

Description

UPDATED FOR THE NEW 2022 CURRICULUM! BOTH GOOGLE SLIDES AND PDF VERSIONS INCLUDED!

Grade 6 – New Alberta 2022 Math Curriculum – Patterns and Algebra – This resource covers all learning outcomes in the Grade 6 – New 2022 Math Curriculum – Patterns and Algebra .

There are 209 activity sheets for your students to learn and practice the new learning outcomes in the curriculum. Using this resource will ensure that your students will be learning the new curriculum. We have studied the curriculum so that you can focus on delivering the content as opposed to creating materials.

Some of the concepts that are covered:

  • Input/output tables – introduction to functions
  • Identifying the independent and dependent variable in patterns
  • Describing pattern rules
  • Graphing patterns using a cartesian plane
  • Representing patterns in a table of values
  • Determine the function of a pattern in a table of values
  • Write an algebraic expression that represents a function
  • Recursive vs functional relationships
  • Linear functions – patterns that have a straight line
  • Understand that the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis
  • Determine the unknown value of the dependent variable of a function
  • Determine the unknown value of the independent variable of a function
  • Solve word problems involving functions
  • Evaluate expressions involving parentheses and powers
  • Understanding terms in an algebraic expression
  • Simplify like terms
  • Simplify algebraic expressions using their algebraic properties
  • Communitive property – addition and multiplication
