The following sites are for 6th grade students to practice their math skills based on the Georgia Performance Standards. The links are posted by units with the most recent unit of study at top of the page. I encourage students to go back and visit previous units as well to keep their math skills sharp!
6th Grade Unit 6: Measurement
Measuring to the nearest 1/16 of an inch:
http://www.funbrain.com/measure/index.html Choose "Super Brain Inches" to practice 1/16 of an inch. Other choices include measuring to nearest 1/2 and 1/4 of an inch.
Matching Game with Customary Units of Measure
Customary Units of Measure Practice: Selecting Correct Unit of Measure (Click on Chapter 5: "Measuring in Customary Units") and Converting from One Customary Unit to another (Click on Chapter 5: "Converting Customary Units").
Standards:
M6G1. Students will further develop their understanding of plane figures.
a. Determine and use lines of symmetry.
b. Investigate rotational symmetry, including degree of rotation.
