Mathematics — Grade 6

A complete, CAPS-aligned Grade 6 maths journey — from big whole numbers and fractions to percentages, ratio, rate, measurement, patterns and data. Every idea comes twice, as a precise Theory and an intuition-first Visual, with worked examples rooted in everyday South African life and dozens of practice problems that guide with hints and full solutions.

What you'll learn

  • Calculate confidently with whole numbers, common fractions and decimals — including fractions with different denominators — applying the correct order of operations
  • Work with percentages, ratio and rate in everyday money, mixing, best-buy and speed problems
  • Find the perimeter, area and volume of squares, rectangles and rectangular prisms, and describe and extend number patterns using a rule
  • Read and interpret bar graphs and pictographs, find the mode and median of a data set, and describe how likely an event is using both words and fractions

Before you start

  • Grade 5 number sense: reading, writing and ordering whole numbers to hundreds of thousands, and the four operations
  • Recall of multiplication and division facts up to 10 × 10
  • Basic common fractions: naming, and adding fractions with the same denominator
