What Class 6 Mathematics covers
One thing each chapter sets out to make you able to do, in the order the book teaches them.
- State the two-part account of mathematics that §1.1 gives, in the student's own wordsCh 1Patterns in Mathematics
- State what a point determines and what it does not haveCh 2Lines and Angles
- State, in your own words, what each child in the picture is countingCh 3Number Play
- State what this book means by data, and give an example that is not numbersCh 4Data Handling and Presentation
- Decide, for any number, which of two counting rhythms land on itCh 5Prime Time
- State what perimeter measures and why it is a length, not a regionCh 6Perimeter and Area
- State what the number below the line in a fraction countsCh 7Fractions
- State what the book counts as a curve, and give an example that is not bentCh 8Playing with Constructions
- State the fold test for a line of symmetry in one sentence, without using the word looksCh 9Symmetry
- State the chapter's opening question: whether anything lies to the left of 0Ch 10The Other Side of Zero
