6th Grade Measurement Assessment (by date, latest first)

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.

This package has been set up so that you may complete these task cards at the beginning of the year, as a diagnostic during the first weeks of the school year, and again at the end of the year. The blue task cards are worded in the past tense for the end of the year, while the yellow task cards or written for the beginning of the year. I have included a math reflections page so that students may reflect on their learning at the end of the year. I have also included a blank template for each color so that you may add more cards, if you wish.

These cards cover: time (hours, minutes and seconds), measurement (imperial and metric, marked with a Canadian flag), averaging/mean and multiplication.

Product includes general calendars for 2019-2021, to allow for differentiation and assistance to those that need copy of the calendar to complete the task cards.
