TeachKoala turns this descriptor into a complete lesson — illustrated slides with teacher notes, a differentiated activity sheet and a quiz — aligned to AC9M6SP01 specifically, never an invented code. Your first lesson is free.

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 Space progression either side of AC9M6SP01
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
- AC9M5SP01connect objects to their nets and build objects from their nets using spatial and geometric reasoning
- AC9M5SP02construct a grid coordinate system that uses coordinates to locate positions within a space; use coordinates and directional language to describe position and movement
- AC9M5SP03describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate; recognise what changes and what remains the same, and identify any symmetries
Builds towards · Year 7
- AC9M7SP01represent objects in 2 dimensions; discuss and reason about the advantages and disadvantages of different representations
- AC9M7SP02classify triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons according to their side and angle properties; identify and reason about relationships
- AC9M7SP03describe transformations of a set of points using coordinates in the Cartesian plane, translations and reflections on an axis, and rotations about a given point
Other Year 6 Space codes
- AC9M6SP02locate points in the 4 quadrants of a Cartesian plane; describe changes to the coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane
- AC9M6SP03recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate
