This resource covers the grade 6 Ontario mathematics measurement curriculum expectations:

E2.1 measure length, area, mass, and capacity using the appropriate metric units, and solve problems that require converting smaller units to larger ones and vice versa.

E2.4 determine the areas of trapezoid, rhombuses, kites, and composite polygons by decomposing them into shapes with known areas.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Area of Rectangles, Triangles, and Parallelograms 3-Part Lesson

• This resource has your students explore the area relationships among rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. Perfect for engaging your students to practice calculating the area of rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms or reviewing their area formulas so they can determine the areas of trapezoids, rhombuses, and kites. Highly engaging activities include a colouring activity, 14 stations leading to the answer of a riddle, a mystery area trick, and a real-world problem-solving task.

Area of Trapezoids, Rhombuses, Kites 3-Part Lesson

• With this resource, your students will learn how to determine the area of trapezoids, rhombuses, and kites by decomposing them into smaller parts. One of the highlights of the resource is the challenge activity that has students piece together various amounts of tangram puzzle pieces to produce trapezoids. Tangram puzzle piece cut-outs are included.

Determine the Area of Composite Polygons Lesson - Grade 6 Ontario Math

• Help your students determine the area of composite polygons with this highly engaging resource. The activities have them confidently decompose shapes into trapezoids, rhombuses, kites, rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms and then calculate the sum of their areas. Highlights include fun hands-on activities with tangrams (template of tangram pieces provided), real-world problem-solving scenarios, and riddle worksheet.

Area of Composite Shapes Problem-Solving Activity & Riddle worksheet

• This resource will have your grade 6 and 7 students solving problems that involve determining the area of composite polygons by subtracting the area of one shape from another. The differentiated tasks also involve determining and combining the areas of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombuses, and circles (Grade 7). One of the problems involves determining the area of a Valentines' Day mural. There are also bonus riddle worksheets included, one for grade 6 and one for grade 7.

Converting Metric Units for Length, Mass, and Capacity - Grade 6 Ontario Math

• This resource is perfect for teaching your students to convert metric units from smaller to larger ones or larger ones to smaller ones. The activities will have your students enjoying converting metric units of length, capacity, and mass.

Use Appropriate Metric Units to Estimate Length, Mass, and Capacity Lesson

• This resource helps your students be able to select and use appropriate metric units to estimate the length, mass, and capacity of items that can be measured. They will develop an understanding of the relative size of different metric units by examining similarities with place value. The activities help students establish unit benchmarks so that they can choose the appropriate unit to measure length, mass, and capacity of everyday items.

Multiplying and Dividing Decimal Numbers by 10, 100, and 1000 3-Part Lesson

• Have your students easily multiply and divide decimal numbers by 10, 100, and 1000 with this resource. First, they will examine the rules for moving a decimal point within a number after multiplying and dividing by powers of 10. Next, they will love playing a highly engaging game show to further practice multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, and 1000. Finally, they will be provided with a problem-solving scenario and riddle worksheet to consolidate their skills. This is a great mental math activity before teaching your students to convert units of measure.
