6th grade · The Number System
Understand that positive and negative numbers are used together to describe quantities having opposite directions or values (e.g., temperature above/below zero, elevation above/below sea level, credits/debits, positive/negative electric charge); use positive and negative numbers to represent quantities in real-world contexts, explaining the meaning of 0 in each situation.
3 interactive, auto-graded activities for 6th grade students practising 6.NS.C.5. Mini Labs put the standard to work in a real scenario; Skill Practice builds fluency on the standard alone. Every one is randomized per student, so each learner gets their own numbers.
Grade 6 interactive worksheet where students navigate a research submarine through the Pacific Ocean, logging depths, calculating signed changes, and discovering absolute value. Auto-graded with randomized values.
Interactive Grade 6 worksheet where students play junior meteorologist at KFAL News 7, logging January low temps in International Falls, ordering days by temperature, writing inequalities, calculating daily swings, and delivering a Friday Night Weather Recap. Auto-graded.
Labs run 2 to 4 class periods and connect several standards into one project.
Research Station Zero is a multi-worksheet project suitable for Grade 6 and 7 number system, turning the strand into one Antarctic survival mission. Students map a station, average sub-zero temperatures, ration food, calculate fuel and walking distance, pack supplies with GCF and LCM, and brief the commander with their final escape plan. Built for Grade 6, it also works in Grade . Auto-graded, scenario-driven, and Common Core aligned.
