UOI Unit 2: How the World Works
Monday 27 June 2022
The first UOI unit for this year was themed around Who We Are. The focus for Grade 6 was on beliefs and values. At the start of the unit they looked at their own beliefs and values, and how these differed from the beliefs and values of a friend in their class. They then looked at where beliefs and values come from (society, religion, media, etc.). The class researched various religions to look at the beliefs people get from following these religions and on the similarities between major religions. They then looked at beliefs and values that come from society and nation, and how these beliefs and values change over time even within the same country. Next, the class looked at politics and how politicians focus on beliefs and values to win elections. Finally, the class ran a political campaign for the Shadow President of Abroad. This campaign was run with candidates never showing their face, name, or voice.

Mathematics
In Unit 5 we moved on to; 3D shapes, volume, capacity, mass, and position. We explored volume of composite shapes, and the students designed their own composite shapes making real world connections to the topic.
It has been a hectic and exciting year, and I would like to congratulate the students on their continued efforts. Well done to everyone this year, and good luck for the future.

Unit 3 Math
We covered a lot this unit, and I was really impressed with everyones effort. Our topics were; Reading and Understanding Whole Numbers, Percentages, and Pattern & Algebra.
To extend the students who needed challenging, we also started to explore Parallel, an online program for students that challenges and extends their mathematical thinking skills.
For students that needed extra practice, we used Google Classroom to access online math games and posters that helped to build on their conceptual understanding.
