What Year 6 Maths students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 6 Maths standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They solve problems using the properties of prime, composite and square numbers.
- Students locate an ordered pair in any one of the 4 quadrants on the Cartesian plane.
- They use all 4 operations with decimals and connect decimal representations of measurements to the metric system.
- Students conduct simulations using digital tools, to generate and record the outcomes from many trials of a chance experiment.
- They create tessellating patterns using combinations of transformations.
- Students critique arguments presented in the media based on statistics.
The Algebra progression either side of AC9M6A02
A class can only meet this descriptor if they were taught the one before it. If yours hasn't, that's where the lesson starts — not here.
