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 Measurement progression either side of AC9M6M03
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.
Taught before · Year 5
- AC9M5M01choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure
- AC9M5M02solve practical problems involving the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes using appropriate metric units
- AC9M5M03compare 12- and 24-hour time systems and solve practical problems involving the conversion between them
Builds towards · Year 7
- AC9M7M01solve problems involving the area of triangles and parallelograms using established formulas and appropriate units
- AC9M7M02solve problems involving the volume of right prisms including rectangular and triangular prisms, using established formulas and appropriate units
- AC9M7M03describe the relationship between π and the features of circles including the circumference, radius and diameter
Other Year 6 Measurement codes
- AC9M6M01convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem
- AC9M6M02establish the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems
- AC9M6M04identify the relationships between angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite angles; use these to determine unknown angles, communicating reasoning
