Introducing a complete, 9-lesson inquiry-based unit plan for Grade 6 students, focusing on the concepts of volume and capacity. This comprehensive unit aligns with the PYP framework and includes all necessary worksheets and materials, making it easy for teachers to implement engaging, hands-on learning experiences in their classrooms.

What's included:

- 9 detailed lesson plans with clear objectives, materials lists, and step-by-step instructions

- 53 page slide set

• Printable worksheets for each lesson, including:
• Volume exploration worksheets
• Volume calculation practice sheets
• Real-world problem-solving tasks
• Reflection and self-assessment prompts
• Summative assessment materials to evaluate student understanding
• Extension activities and differentiation suggestions
• Teacher notes and background information on key concepts

Key learning outcomes:

• Understand and define volume and capacity
• Identify and convert between volume units (mL, L, kL, cm³, m³)
• Estimate and measure the volume of various containers and objects
• Calculate the volume of rectangular prisms using the formula V = l × w × h
• Differentiate between volume and capacity
• Relating volume to mass
• Apply volume concepts to real-world problem-solving scenarios

Hands-on learning:

This unit encourages students to explore volume and capacity through engaging, hands-on activities using everyday objects like bottles, cartons, and plastic containers. Teachers will need to collect these items and have measuring jugs & kitchen scales available for students to use during the lessons.

With this comprehensive unit plan, teachers will have all the resources they need to guide students through an immersive, inquiry-based learning experience that deepens their understanding of volume and capacity and helps them apply these concepts to real-world situations.

The goal for this project is for your child/students to practice using area and perimeter. They will also practice spatial awareness as they plan for elements to fit within the area provided. The different areas they will place on their maps are based on the realms represented in the Nutcracker Ballet (when visiting after Marie/Clara rescues the Nutcracker/Prince)

Children/students can practice following instructions and requirements by following the assignment's instructions.

What is Included: 9 Pages

· Goals and Instructions for Teachers

· Instructions/Requirements

· Example

· Rubric

· Legends Page.

· Elements Page

· Separate 11x14 printable graph page

Looking for an exciting and interactive way to help your students practice 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication with area models? This self-checking digital puzzle is just what you need! Gamified learning brings academic concepts to life, and this resource does just that by blending educational content with a fun Halloween-themed puzzle. Here’s how it can enhance your classroom experience:

Benefits of Gamified Learning:

1. Boosts Engagement: Students love the thrill of completing puzzles. With this resource, each correct answer unlocks a piece of the picture, motivating them to keep solving the math problems.

2. Enhances Retention: By applying area model strategies in a game-like environment, students are more likely to retain these important math skills.

3. Encourages Independent Learning: With the self-checking feature, students can immediately see whether their answer is right or wrong, allowing them to take ownership of their learning and correct mistakes on their own.

Why Teachers Will Love It:

• No Prep Required: Simply upload the resource, and your students can start solving immediately. The self-checking aspect reduces the need for constant monitoring.

• Instant Feedback: Each correct answer triggers a visual change on the screen, and students can see their progress as they solve each question, allowing you to focus on guiding the class.

• Classroom Versatility: Whether you’re working on multiplication as a class or assigning independent practice, this puzzle can be easily integrated into your lessons.

How to Use It:

• Project the puzzle on your smartboard for whole-class practice or allow students to work individually on their devices.

• Assign the puzzle as part of a math center or a fun homework assignment.

• Use the self-checking aspect to encourage peer collaboration—students can work together to solve each question, knowing they’ll get instant feedback.

This resource combines effective, self-checking practice with the fun of gamified learning. Watch your students stay engaged, improve their math skills, and work independently with confidence!

Engaging Conversion Activity:

Students will convert measurements from metric to standard or standard to metric. Based on the answers the students reach, they will draw a picture with a Halloween theme.

My students enjoyed showing their creativity in drawing their jack-o-lanterns based on their guidelines. We hung up the various finished products for the students to enjoy.

Fun and useful activity.

What's included:

• Converting measurement worksheets.
• Drawing worksheet.
• Measurement reference sheet.
• Reference sheet.

How is this product useful:

• Easy prep and check for teachers.

• Great for bell work or a substitute.

Engaging, Hands on Holiday Activity:

My students love this delicious project. We like to do it right before Thanksgiving. Students are given weight data concerning the materials used to build a candy and cookie turkey. They use this data to estimate the total weight of the turkey. When estimates are concluded and turkeys are built, students weigh the turkey to find the actual weight.

Students reflect and write about the differences between their estimates and the actual weight of the turkey.

An optional extension has students convert the metric measurements provided to standard measurements. This can be assigned as homework to follow up on the classroom activity.

What's included:

• Teacher instructions.
• Student worksheet with photos.
• Student worksheet without photos.
• Example photos.
• Extension worksheet.

The Median can be a difficult concept for students to master. A relevant approach to teaching the statistical value of the Median is to have students determine the High and Low temperatures of the weather for a week. To facilitate this, a worksheet has been designed as an easy way to integrate extra practice during Bell Ringers or Warm-Up activities.
