Year 6 Mathematics in the Australian Curriculum

AC9M6N01

recognise situations, including financial contexts, that use integers; locate and represent integers on a number line and as coordinates on the Cartesian plane

AC9M6N02

identify and describe the properties of prime, composite and square numbers and use these properties to solve problems and simplify calculations

AC9M6N03

apply knowledge of equivalence to compare, order and represent common fractions including halves, thirds and quarters on the same number line and justify their order

AC9M6N04

apply knowledge of place value to add and subtract decimals, using digital tools where appropriate; use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers

AC9M6N05

solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions using knowledge of equivalent fractions

AC9M6N06

multiply and divide decimals by multiples of powers of 10 without a calculator, applying knowledge of place value and proficiency with multiplication facts; using estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers

AC9M6N07

solve problems that require finding a familiar fraction, decimal or percentage of a quantity, including percentage discounts, choosing efficient calculation strategies and using digital tools where appropriate

AC9M6N08

approximate numerical solutions to problems involving rational numbers and percentages, including financial contexts, using appropriate estimation strategies

AC9M6N09

use mathematical modelling to solve practical problems involving natural and rational numbers and percentages, including in financial contexts; formulate the problems, choosing operations and efficient calculation strategies, and using digital tools where appropriate; interpret and communicate solutions in terms of the situation, justifying the choices made

AC9M6A01

recognise and use rules that generate visually growing patterns and number patterns involving rational numbers

AC9M6A02

find unknown values in numerical equations involving brackets and combinations of arithmetic operations, using the properties of numbers and operations

AC9M6A03

create and use algorithms involving a sequence of steps and decisions that use rules to generate sets of numbers; identify, interpret and explain emerging patterns

AC9M6M01

convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem

AC9M6M02

establish the formula for the area of a rectangle and use it to solve practical problems

AC9M6M03

interpret and use timetables and itineraries to plan activities and determine the duration of events and journeys

AC9M6M04

identify the relationships between angles on a straight line, angles at a point and vertically opposite angles; use these to determine unknown angles, communicating reasoning

AC9M6SP01

compare the parallel cross-sections of objects and recognise their relationships to right prisms

AC9M6SP02

locate 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

AC9M6SP03

recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate

AC9M6ST01

interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape

AC9M6ST02

identify statistically informed arguments presented in traditional and digital media; discuss and critique methods, data representations and conclusions

AC9M6ST03

plan and conduct statistical investigations by posing and refining questions or identifying a problem and collecting relevant data; analyse and interpret the data and communicate findings within the context of the investigation

AC9M6P01

recognise that probabilities lie on numerical scales of 0 – 1 or 0% – 100% and use estimation to assign probabilities that events occur in a given context, using common fractions, percentages and decimals

AC9M6P02

conduct repeated chance experiments and run simulations with an increasing number of trials using digital tools; compare observations with expected results and discuss the effect on variation of increasing the number of trials
